by Miss Jackie who is a former Miss New Jersey Pageant winner. Girls can take 

classes alone or add on private lessons and work towards competing in local pageants

and work up to enter into Miss Teen NJ, then Miss New Jersey.

 

TDH Dance Company 

 (Audition required)  Within the Dance Team Program, we believe that competitions are an integral part of becoming a well-rounded dancer.  Competitive dance gives students the opportunity to experience rigorous training for an event, perform as a team, and be critiqued and judged by a panel of professionals.  Additionally, being involved in competitions undoubtedly gives students an edge with their performance abilities and makes their on-stage performances all the more exciting.  Company members are required to take 2 Ballet, 1 Jazz and 1 Tap per week at a minimum and the requirement then inreases upon age/skill level.
