Our Abbotsford Competitive Dance Program is the largest in the Fraser Valley and features some of Xtreme Talent’s best dancers! From our Snow Leopards, all the way up to our Panthers, each age group and skill level have their own squad with their own cat name. (Exotic cats are kind of our thing!)
Each year we hold auditions and dancers are placed in the competitive group that our instructors feel is the best fit for their skills, experience, and commitment level. Whether it’s on our Competition Team or one of our Company Teams or even our Intensive Training Program, every dancer that wants to compete will have a spot somewhere at Xtreme Talent.

*NEW!* Mo’Mentum Team
New for the 2021/22 season is our Mo’mentum dance team! This team is designed specifically for our emerging competitive dancers or for the dancers who want to compete but don’t want to take all the necessary Ballet and Technique classes required for being in our competitive Companies. This program is mainly taught by Miss Mo (hence the name!) and Miss Robin, however, there may be classes taught by some of our other wonderful faculty members as well. Mo’mentum is perfect for dancers who may be newer to competitive dance and want to try and get their feet wet first before jumping right into the commitments of Company dance since the Mo’mentum team will compete in 3 local competitions this year instead of 4 or 5 for Company dancers. Or, dancers that love competing but don’t love all the RAD Ballet classes would be a great fit for this program, as it is optional for Mo’mentum dancers! For more information send us an email, or contact our office during office hours. This exciting new program kicks off in fall 2021 and will have limited spaces so register today!
Company Dance
Our Company Teams are our most competitive as they compete in an average of 4-5 competitions per year. Company dancers must be committed to being their very best both in and out of the dance studio, as they are often looked up to by the younger and more recreational dancers. To be on an Xtreme Talent Company Team dancers are required to take between 1-3 hours of Ballet each week at a minimum, depending on their age, and they are also required to take RAD Ballet exams each year too. In addition to Ballet, Company dancers are also required to take technique classes, and they also have specific company choreography classes each week that are also required. The Company teams will sometimes travel to competitions outside of the Lower Mainland to places such as Whistler, Washington State, New York and California to name a few. Company Dancing should be the ultimate goal for any student who wants to compete at the highest level, train their absolute hardest, and have the absolute most fun! Scroll down below to see what Company is right for you.
Intensive Training Program
Our Intensive Training Program (I.T.P) allows our most elite and serious dancers to further their training even more with specialized classes and exclusive guest choreographers. These dancers can start their training a little earlier each day with classes such as Conditioning, Tricks and Flips, Advanced Ballet and more. We offer an additional 5 hours per week of specialized training to the select few that get chosen to be in the ITP program, which brings their weekly average of hours to around 20. That is why this program is only for dancers that are serious about getting the maximum amount of training and exposure in the dance community and are willing to put in the time and training to do so. ITP is by application only, so contact the office to find out how to apply!
