Company classes

We have 3 levels of company classes, divided by age, experience, and ability. These groups are considered "company" because they are included in all extra activities and offered many additional options. All members are expected to participate in certain activities. Knowing some students will be more dedicated than others, we offer many additional options over and above the required classes so that you can have a tailor-made commitment ( see expectations and activities). Age ranges are approximate and we occasionally move a younger student into a level or keep an older student in a leel if their ability deems this necessary. Difficult steps, complicated combinations, quicker learning, body toning, and increasing personal responsibility is developed in these classes.

Company and Competition Info

The Senior Company (advanced ages approx. 14-19) takes required classes twice per week. One is a 2 1/4 hour tap/jazz class ( student can choose to drop a subject if so desired) and a 1 hour required ballet class. A second ballet class is offered but not required. The Senior Company is prepared to enter a college level dance program upon high school graduation if desired and encouraged to further their dance education rather than attempt professional work immediately.

The Junior Company (advanced ages approx. 10-14) takes required classes twice per week. They attend a 2 hour jazz/tap class and attend a 1 hour ballet class. Some are offered a second class of ballet technique.

The Juniorette Company attends a 1 1/2 hour jazz/tap class and a 1 hour ballet class, but are ages 9-12.
