INSPIRE
The DWR Inspire team was designed to foster a budding passion in our tiniest competition dancers! Inspire is intended to be a stepping stone to launch into further competition opportunities. This program is most beneficial for our dancers aged 3 – 5 years.
DWR Inspire team members have gone onto our Elite & Prestige programs and experienced much success from NDA Championships to National Titles and everything in between!
If your little one is a future Elite or Prestige dancer in the making, we cannot encourage our Inspire program enough. Inspire encourages and fosters confidence & the proper foundational technique to propel our youngest dancers to a future of success!
ELITE
Our Elite Competition Program is designed to accommodate and develop dancers at every step of their journey! DWR offers the opportunity for our Elite team members to compete anywhere from 1 routine up to 7 routines during the competition season. The program is developed to build technique in our beginning dancers, while also offering a challenging and highly competitive level program for our most advanced.
As a member of our Elite Competition program, your dancer will receive high level instruction weekly in the areas of ballet, technique, and weekly choreography. Dancer’s in our program will compete in the Studio circuit at competitions such as Inferno, Talent on Parade, Dance Champs, etc. regionally in the state of Iowa. No auditions are required to be a part of our Elite program
PRESTIGE
Our Prestige Program is an extension of our Elite Competition team for dancers who desire the opportunity to compete on the biggest stages in the country and in the world! Prestige is a highly competitive program and not all individuals who express interest will be placed on our Prestige level routines. Our Prestige program is a Nationally & World Ranked program that has gone on to produce dozens of successful collegiate dancers post graduation. If your dancer is seeking a rigorous, team oriented, and pre professional dance program, Prestige is the right fit for you!
All dancers interested in our Prestige program are required to audition. Not every dancer who auditions for Prestige will make the team. Some dancers may receive the opportunity to be a part of Prestige at a minimum commitment of 1 Prestige routine.

This past year (our first at DWR) has been life changing. She no longer stresses about dance, she enjoys going to practice and feels sad on nights she doesn't have class, she has regained confidence, and has made dozens of new friends. During our early weeks at the studio she would comment after each class that she couldn't believe how much she was learning, how positive and encouraging the coaches and teachers were, and that she was often called out and praised for her performance in class. She has a renewed love for dancing, and has a much healthier mindset regarding what success looks like on and off the floor. As a parent, I love that I always feel welcome in the studio, that there is transparency in our financial commitments for the season, and that we receive our season calendar in June when we sign contracts for the year. I have been impressed by the realistic approach the studio takes in recognizing dance is just one part of your family's life and not the only thing that matters. I have been impressed by their flexibility with other school committments, the fact that dancers are believed and encouraged to rest when they are unwell or injured, and the way every member of the team is treated with the same level of respect and value.
