The SW DANCE Academy Competition Squad are made up of selected students from both Harpenden & St. Albans Academies, there is no audition process. This approach enables the new squad members to receive the right amount of attention and guidance.

SW Dance Academy regularly take part in Freestyle competitions around the country, where students have the opportunity to compete in solo, pairs and team events. The competitions are governed by the Association of Dance Freestyle Professionals (ADFP) and are held at various locations around the country. Our competition squad students have the opportunity to compete in solo, pairs and team events.

Our advanced students are also given the opportunity to attend competitions where the Team GB are selected. Team GB are represented in the European Championships (top 10 UK dancers) and World Championships (top 5 UK dancers)
Competitive dance takes commitment from both competitors and parents. Students identified as being ready to move into competing will be invited to attend the Squad classes. These classes give students the chance to work on their competition routines outside of the standard class time. The squad training improves confidence, technical ability and choreography skills which enables the students to compete at the high standard required.
