Intensity Company
Intensity • Elite Intensity • Mini Company
Intensity is Storm’s early competitive company.
About Our Intensity Team
Intensity Company is our outstanding early competition program, for ages 4-18 years old, to prepare promising young dancers for competition and technical excellence. Based on a similar format to our current Pre-Professional competition team, dancers will get to experience what it is like to be a competitive dancer and see the competition world first hand. Because this program is only a two day per week commitment, it is designed to ease your child into the company at a financial and time commitment level that is feasible for busy families, while remaining a fun and challenging environment for them to learn and grow.
