Company Program
Company I is an advanced, in-depth program consisting of the three core subjects: ballet, tap & jazz. Company I students will also be introduced to advanced-beginner lyrical, character jazz styles and conditioning/flexibility. We also recommend Company I dancers take Acrobatic Arts & Hip-Hop classes to add to their advanced weekly training. Company I will perform three routines in multiple shows in the year-end recital.
Our Company Program is for serious dancers wishing for a pre-professional level of training with multiple classes throughout the week. All dancers age 8+ (exceptions may apply) are evaluated by our staff throughout the year and invited into the program. For these dancers, this is your sport. Although some may be able to balance an additional sport/activity, attendance stipulations will apply to this level. Dancers in this program must be enrolled in all 3 core classes (Tap/Jazz/Ballet) as well as an additional Company Ballet technique class. Additional Pointe, Acrobatic Arts and Hip-Hop classes are highly recommended. The Company program feeds into the A.L.D.S. Competition & Performance Team. Company dancers are eligible to audition for the competitive team if desired but it is not mandatory. Company is a year-round program that requires strong work ethic, self-motivation and dedication to their art form and training schedule.
