WDA Troupe
Westchester’s Leading Competitive Dance Troupe
About WDA Dance Troupe
Westchester Dance Academy Competitive Troupe is the area’s leading Dance Troupe. Our dancers and teachers have been awarded the highest honors in regional, national, and international dance events. Our competitive dance program is designed to truly challenge and inspire those serious about dance. This program offers intense conditioning, technical training, first class choreography, and personal attention. Students gain the technique they need through concentrated training in ballet, lyrical, jazz, contemporary, tap, acro/tumbling and musical theater.
Although the focus is on giving students the ability to pursue dance as a profession, the skills learned in the program have proven to be valuable life lessons that continue to benefit the students in all career choices. Self-expression, self-discipline, responsibility, and time management are only some of the qualities that WDA students are guaranteed to acquire.
The Westchester Dance Academy Troupe is divided into teams based on age, ability, technique, personality, and above all, potential. Troupe members participate in competitions such as the National Dance Awards, Dance Alliance, and Onstage New York.
