Being a Company dancer:
- Company dancers prioritize dance as their main activity. We encourage well rounded dancers, but the expectation is that dance comes first and is not missed for anything else (other than an educational or religious requirement).
- Dependent on level, Company dancers study 5-10 hours per week, 2-3 days per week and classes are held at all three Studio locations
- Company classes include Ballet, Tap, Jazz & Contemporary
- Additional recreational classes can be taken for additional tuition. Acro is suggested.
- Company tuition includes all Company classes and rehearsals. Additional fees may come up throughout the year. With being a Company member, there is a financial responsibility families must take on. Accounts must be up to date and there are no discounts or financial assistance available for Company dancers. Email to inquire about costs.
