Performance Company 2011-2012

Auditions: Wednesday July 13th, 6-7:30 pm

(This Company is for Ages 7 to 12)

Performance Competition Company is our outstanding early competition program to prepare promising young dancers for competition and technical excellence. Based on a similar format to our current competition team, dancers will get to experience what it is like to be a competitive dancer and see the competition world first hand. Because this program is only a two day per week commitment, it is designed to ease your child into the company at a financial and time commitment level that is feasible for busy families, while remaining a fun and challenging environment for them to learn and grow.

Training

Dancers will be trained in Ballet, Jazz, Contemporary/ Lyrical, Technique, Strength, and Flexibility. Classes and Rehearsals are included in the 2 hour time block on Tuesday and Thursday evenings. Dancers in the company will work in a cohesive group setting under myself and the other wonderful teachers at the studio.

Other Information

The program will be run by myself, Christina Bedoe, and a few other talented Storm instructors. You may stay in the building during rehearsals if you want, but the dancers will be kept with us the whole time, so it is not necessary for parents to stay. They will have a quick snack break in the middle, so send something to eat, or they can use the café. A meeting will be held in early September, where you will receive a calendar of competitions for the year, events, etc, as well as a handbook. We are very excited for the opportunity to work with your dancer. This promises to be a wonderful experience for them and us! We can’t wait to get started!

Commitment to the program is due August 1st, 2011. Please bring in your paperwork and costume deposit at that time for registration. Thanks!
