Concentrated Company Program
Concentrated classes are offered in Tap, Jazz, and Lyrical/Contemporary. This program is designed for the intermediate and/or advanced dancer. Through concentrated training, dancers have the potential opportunities to compete, perform, and learn beyond the usual studio setting. These experiences teach concentrated dancers’ commitment, leadership, courage, persistence, a sense of ambition when faced with obstacles, and humbleness in honor of achievements.
Here's how it works...
>Concentrated company dancers’ members are chosen or invited into the program through an audition and/or placement process. This year, our placement process will be executed through technique classes in the summer.
>We specifically place your concentrated dancer in the interactive level within the program in which they will be challenged, reach for goals, have the best opportunity to feel confidant, and are paired with other dancers they dance well with performance wise.
>Concentrated company dancers are required to practice and continue working on their technique throughout the dance year, therefore summer and yearlong technique classes are mandatory.
>During the dance year, dancers are required to take their concentrated technique classes per week. These weekly technique classes focus and engage on leaps, turns, flexibility, stage presence, and creativity.
>Company Dancers are required to also attend their level ballet class and at least one other technique-based class (jazz, lyrical, and/or acro).
>Choreography sessions is required for concentrated company members. We have a separate choreography slot so we can keep the focus on technique during the week. Attendance for these sessions is mandatory and failure to appear will result in suspension from the company.
>They will learn a minimum of two dances (one jazz and one lyrical/contemporary, each requiring an $80 costume fee). They will compete both routines at least twice during the two competitions we attend throughout the year.
>We bring in one guest artist/master teacher during the year that is mandatory for concentrated company dancers to attend to further extend their dance education.
>We also attend 1-2 dance conventions/competitions during the year as well. This too is to help expand the dance education of the focused dancer. These conventions are highly recommended.
>Concentrated tap dancers are chosen or invited into the program through audition and/or placement during the summer as well. They will have technique and choreography in the same weekly class during the regular year.
