Joining the Brooks
Competition Team
Our award-winning Competition Team is for passionate, committed dancers who love performing and want to take their training further.
Our dancers have won top prizes and medals at some of the UK and international dance circuit’s biggest events, including Destination Dance, Supreme Dance Competition, All England Dance Finals, Dance World Cup and Global Dance Open.
Each year, we also compete at local dance festivals, including Worthing Festival at Worthing Pavilion and Sussex Festival at The Hawth Theatre in Crawley. In 2026, we were especially proud to win the coveted shields for both Overall Highest Scoring Small Group and Overall Highest Scoring Large Group at Sussex Festival.
Entry to our competition team is by invitation or audition, with dancers taking part in competitions, festivals, youth platforms, international events and shows throughout the year.
Training & Commitment
Competition dancers must attend weekly ballet and jazz, alongside a weekly class in the style of any competition routines they perform, such as tap or commercial.
Our older dancers are encouraged to train across a broad range of styles, including ballet, jazz, contemporary, acro and commercial.
Team rehearsals take place at weekends, with additional rehearsals and performance opportunities throughout the year. Dancers may also be invited to join our specialist ballet, contemporary and performance groups or learn solos, duets and trios.
We look for dancers who demonstrate enthusiasm, commitment and consistent attendance – not simply those with existing skills or experience.
Other Training
Competition Team members cannot train or compete with another local dance school or team.
However, we try our best to support students who also enjoy complementary activities such as gymnastics and musical theatre, as well as professionally recognised pre-vocational dance programmes.
Interested in joining?
We are always looking for dancers with potential and a genuine passion for dance. Our experienced teachers are here to develop technique, confidence and performance skills and help every dancer reach their full potential.
Occasionally we also allow dancers from other dance schools who are at an advanced level to join our competition teams if their school do not currently offer these opportunities.
