Company Overview
What skills do you need to be in a Company?
Our skills vary depending on the age of the child. We will have multiple competing companies in various genres. The levels vary according to age and ability.
How does our Company operate?
Each child will have the opportunity to choose which styles of dance they wish to be placed in for the 2025-2026 competition season. All company members are required to take Ballet and production. For example, you can choose to audition for all genres or just Jazz and Lyrical. This gives you the opportunity to experience our competitive company but also allows you to be involved in outside activities as well if you choose.
