Our Companies are composed of students of the age 3+ with various commitment levels and performance opportunities in a variety of styles of dance, Acro, and silks. We believe anyone should be able to take their dancing to the next level, so long as they are willing to put in the work and commitment. Providing the highest quality of education and training paired with reasonable cost is very important to us. It is important for our company members to know that what they are receiving is a beautiful gift and blessing. Therefore, we ask them to treat their opportunity with respect, gratitude, and dedication.
Recreational Company (RC)
is designed for dancers that want to learn new skills and have fun dancing while having 2 opportunities to perform throughout the school year and can enroll “seasonally” Sept-Dec & Jan-May. Of course one can do both sessions! These classes you sign up for, no audition is required, check out our course listings on our website. Classes are offered in a variety of styles! This company is best for those that have 0-2 dance experience.
Our Performance Companies (PC)
are designed for a committed dancer that loves attending their weekly classes and wants to perform 3-4 times a year while improving their skills and building confidence! This is a great stepping stone, to our Competitive Company if that is of interest, but perhaps started dancing “later”. It’s never too late!
Our Pre-Pro Competitive Companies (PPC)
is designed for the committed dancer that wants to perform 4-7x a year and really take their dancing to the next level.
Our CREWS
are designed for the committed dancer that loves dancing, but more focused on commercial hip hop style. These companies are a great way to break out to our Pre-Pro Competitive Company, if ever interested in that in the future. Crew members are in classes weekly 2 hours/ week
Our Acro Company(s)
are designed for the committed acro-dancer that loves tumbling and dancing! These teams practice 2.5 hours/week & perform 5 times a year.
Our Nutcracker Company
is designed for all dancers that love ballet (and even some acrobatics), to have the opportunity to learn an original regimagined nutcracker choreographed by; Miss Nola & assisted by Miss Celeste. All the auditions are included.
All our programs; focus on both proper technique, developing one’s individual artistic voice, and self-discipline. We teach our students that whether we are in class, performing at a showcase, a community event, or at competition, that we are committed to improving ourselves as a whole. Part of the fun is seeing our progress while leaving it all on the dance floor! We believe by instilling our core values of; work ethic, respect, positive mindset, passion, dedication, and humility, that all of our dancers will be able to reach their goals no matter what level they are at. Whether your student is chosen for a competitive company, or the performance company, they will grow their skills, confidence, and have a clear personalized path to reach their goals.
With one of our core values being dedication, we ask prior to acceptance into any of the companies/teams, that students and their parents understand and confirm their full commitment to the season’s requirements. This includes; wearing the proper attire to class, making up missed technique classes, being punctual to class/rehearsal, events, and performances.
We understand emergencies happen, normal life can happen and that there may be some conflicts, that’s okay! Communication is key. We ask that you please communicate known conflicts prior to the start of company/team choreography and if any arise mid season to notify us as soon as possible.
