Focused Learning Environment
With intentionally limited class sizes, dancers receive personal feedback, individualized corrections, and mentorship from top industry professionals — ideal for those looking to refine technique and artistry before the next competition season.
Headliner Experience
Each level will take part in a Headliner Class with a choreographer traveling from Los Angeles — past Excel headliners have included Sophia Lucia and GiaNina Paolantonio, setting the bar for another unforgettable experience. This year, we will be welcoming the amazing Gianna Martello to our team.
Awards & Prizes
Throughout the workshop, dancers can earn: cash prizes, scholarships to future Excel events, professional photoshoot opportunities, free costumes from our sponsors, free competition entries to select Calgary competitions, and many more.
These awards celebrate artistry, dedication, and the Excel community spirit.
