Confidence Born from Kindness. Excellence Built Through Dance

Elite Dance Co. Competition Team

2026 Audition Info

Local Roots. National Dreams.

Our competition team showcases talent across local contests in DFW, Tyler, and Waco, gaining valuable experience and growing together. Select dancers may also earn the exciting opportunity to compete at National-level competitions, representing Elite Dance Company on a larger stage.

Inspiration Beyond the Stage

Elite dancers attend two-day dance conventions packed with full-day classes in a variety of styles — from hip hop to ballet, jazz to contemporary. Led by world-renowned choreographers and professional dancers, these events challenge our team, spark creativity, and fuel a deeper love for dance.

Elite Training. Elite Leadership.

At EDC, competition dancers train weekly in a variety of styles—ballet, jazz, hip hop, lyrical, and more—building versatility, strength, and artistry. This well-rounded foundation not only sharpens performance skills but also fosters confident, adaptable dancers.


Our program is led by Director Raylee Cantrell, a former Dallas Cowboys Cheerleader with classical training from Texas Ballet Theater, bringing a unique blend of professional experience, discipline, and passion to every class.
