About our companies.

  • Petite Company

    In Season 3, we put our youngest dancers on the competitive stage at the ages of 6 and 7! Dancers in the Petite Company are require to dance 1.5 hours a week in a Ballet/Tap Combo class where they work on their technique and competitive routine. Dancers are encouraged to take additional style classes to help build upon their style and grow within dance and the company. This is meant for dancers ages 8 and under. Dancers who follow directions well, have strong attendance and are becoming comfortable performing in front of an audience will be invited to this audition for Season 4.

  • Regional Company

    Dancers in this company are newer to the company/competition experience or are not yet ready to make the move to our National Company. Regional Company dancers are required to take 1 ballet class per week, a conditioning class (Turns or Strength) and classes that are in the genre of company they are in. Jazz, Strength & Flexibility and Turns & Progressions are highly encouraged for all dancers to add in addition to their company training styles. These dancers will compete in two-three local competitions in the spring.

  • National Company

    Dancers in this company are looking to train and compete at the highest level. Two ballet classes a week (1.5 hrs each) are required to be on this level of company. National Company dancers are also required to take Strength & Flexibility OR Turns & Progressions (dancers can take both if they choose). National Company dancers must participate in a minimum of two competetive styles and the production number in the 2024/25 season. (Minimum number of dances to compete in is three). These dancers will compete in three-four competitions in the spring, one being out of town. Dancers will also participate in a convention. The 2024-25 Season is intended to be a Nationals year (at a to be determined location, out of town). Dancers in this company are able to participate in additional competitions and events that are cleared through the company director.
