Excellent dance school for serious dancers

I'm new to the area and I am looking for a dance school (ballet, jazz and tap) for my daughters. I would like to find one with a reputation for excellence where students are able to compete with others and do very well.

thanks

You've posted on a nationwide message board, and didn't say where you're located, but I have a couple of suggestions. One of my good friends has a daughter who is now majoring in dance in college. When she was younger, the mom called various studios out of the phone book, and asked about the credentials/background/philosophies of the owner and instructors. She asked about the kinds of competitions that they participated in, and when the next ones were. Then she and her daughter went to see various competitions, and it became obvious which studios kept having the winning performers. Then she enrolled her daughter in them. I know for a time her daughter was doing tap, and they switched to a different studio when her daughter decided to focus on modern jazz, but as I said, she's now attending a NY college as a dance major, and very happy with the way things are working out.
