Competitive 2010 - 2011

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 dance festivals in the Spring in addition to the year-end recital May 27th, 28th & 29th, 2011.

Company and Intensive

Dance Co's Company and Intensive classes provide and excellent base for our most serious and gifted students. Company and Intensive 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 and Strength conditioning and Pointe classes will be offered to Company and Intensive 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 and Intensive members will compete provincially at three festivals that run in March, April and May. They will perform at Dance Co's year end recital May 27th, 28th & 29th, 2011, and may be eligible to present festival winning routines at "Showcase 2011" on June 29th. Dancers interested in auditioning must have a minimum of three years experience, a distinct natural ability and be willing to push themselves to be the best dancer they can be. To apply, please send in a video tape showing barre work, centre exercises, flexibility and a lyrical and jazz combination. To audition in person, please register in one of the summer schools or weekly classes for evaluation. Be sure to note your audition request on the registration form. Certain expectations will be expected from the dancers. Please see the Company/Competitive Dance Program Policy Contract for further details.

2010/2011 Information Brochure - Company/ Intensive/ Competitive Students

This information is EXTREMELY IMPORTANT and pertains to all Company, Intensive and Competitive dancers. We ask that you review this information very carefully and mark your calendars with the updated performance dates. Dance Co.'s Company, Intensive and Competitive dancers will be participating in the following performance and workshop opportunities:

Dance Co. presents the Pre-Show "SNEAK PEEK"

Once again, a Pre-Show will be held on March 5th, 2011. ALL Company, Intensive, and Competitive group and solo/duo/trio dance routines will be participating in this event. (This is the ONLY event when all solo/duo/trio routines will be performed.)

These special shows are a great opportunity for the dancers to perform their routines on stage for an audience prior to their competitions. It will allow time to get feedback from the performance and go back to the classroom to make any final changes and corrections prior to performing at the dance competitions. We think that this opportunity will be of great benefit for the dancers and lots of fun too!!

ALL COMPANY, INTENSIVE AND COMPETITIVE DANCERS ARE EXPECTED TO BE IN ATTENDANCE AT THIS EVENT.
