Ballet Duet Dance Competition - Triple Threat Productions

Our Competitions

Participants who compete in Triple Threat Productions competitions will perform in front of experienced and expert judges who provide feedback and constructive commentary to help performers improve their craft. Winners of the competition may receive awards, scholarships, or invitations to take part and perform in dedicated events.

As with any competition participants need to prepare thoroughly, focusing on technique, choreography, stage presence and overall performance quality.

It is also a valuable time to network, learn from other participants and gain further performance experience.

The Philosophy

This competition serves as a platform for dancers to celebrate their passion for dance and strive for excellence in their craft.

The company is run by a team of directors who have years of experience in the dance and musical theatre industry and in being involved in some of the largest performing arts competitions in the country.
