MVSA Studios offers a free trial and has competitive teams (TEAM MVSA) grouped by age, levels, style, and studio location, including a Prima Team dedicated to ballet and classical styles and a Musical Theatre/Voice Team. Competitive teams bring home National Titles, First Place Wins, Top Scores, and Special Awards across dance forms, levels, and ages. MVSA Teams, made up of top performers, represent the school in the competitive circuit and receive performance opportunities across the community. Private lessons are available to all students as supplemental training.
Team training requirements include a minimum of 2 hours of Ballet per week, 3–8 hours of in-class training per week, 2–6 hours of rehearsal per week, participation in MVSA Holiday Performances and the MVSA End of Year Performance, 3 to 4 Regional Competitions, a Dance Convention, and 1 National Competition in the summer. The studios are described as a second home for staff and dancers. The dress code requires hair to be neatly slicked back in a bun for all classes and no jewelry during any classes or performances, and hair must always be neatly slicked back in a bun for all classes.
