Our company program is for more serious dancers who are ready to take their dancing to the next level and step into the competition dance environment.  

We truly believe that what your child will gain from the experience in Company is priceless, as both a dancer and an individual. Here are just a few of the qualities & life lessons your child may learn: commitment, dedication, teamwork, work ethic, responsibility, making sacrifices, time management, priorities, communication, life long friendships and SO much more!

The Company program works to challenge our dancers to improve their technique, skills and creativity, build teamwork, develop sportsmanship, and provide additional performance opportunities.

Demands commitment, denies selfishness, accepts reality, yet seeks improvement every day while putting the team above self.

1. For Dancers - Being a part of Company requires talent, commitment, dedication, passion, hard work, an eagerness to learn, positive attitudes and a desire to perform as a dancer.

2. For Parents - The Company Program is a step up from our recreational program in time and financial commitments. (Extra practices/events, annual company fees, monthly tuition, competition fees, costumes fees, travel feels, etc.)
