Competitive Dance Teams: CIP & ACP Programs
Professional Training for Dancers in Vancouver & Portland
Groove Nation offers a clear pathway from recreational dance to elite performance. Our competitive programs are designed for dedicated dancers who crave higher-level training, increased commitment, and stage experience.
Our Competitive Age Brackets
We offer specialized teams to ensure every dancer trains alongside their peers at the appropriate developmental level:
Mini: Ages 6–8
Junior: Ages 9–11 (The "Tween" Sweet Spot)
Teen: Ages 12–14
Senior: Ages 15–19
The CIP Program: Intensive Growth
The Competitive Intensive Program (CIP) is for dancers ready to level up. Members audition annually to broaden their technical span across multiple genres, building the stamina and discipline required for the competitive stage.
The ACP Program: Elite Performance
Our Advanced Competitive Program (ACP) is an invitation-only track for elite dancers showing exceptional skill and seriousness. This program prepares students for the professional world; many of our alumni now perform in LA, Las Vegas, and in national commercials.
