Competitive 2008 - 2009
These classes are designed for the more serious dance student. The competitive Ballet, Jazz, Lyrical, Tap classes are based on two to three classes a week per discipline. Students prepare for competitions in choreography classes and develop their skills in technique classes. All competitive students are required to study competitive ballet in addition to their other classes (with the exception of tap and hip hop). Students will compete in three festivals in the Spring in addition to the year-end recital May 22nd - 24th, 2009.

Company and Intensive
Dance Co's Company classes provide and excellent base for our most serious and gifted students. Company members take eight to sixteen classes a week (depending on level) and members are required to make a serious commitment to the company and its members. Additional Acro and Stretch & Strength conditioning and Pointe classes will be offered to Company dancers on a supplementary basis where appropriate. Company members attend all classes together to create a team spirit, which is integral to their ability to perform and excel as dancers. Company members will compete provincially at four festivals that run March, April and May. They will perform at Dance Co's year end recital May 22nd - 24th, 2009, and may be eligible to present festival winning routines at "Showcase 2009" in May.
