Competition Classes (Kompany)

The Kompany is a selective team of young dancers who demonstrate excellence in dance and performing. Being on the team asks for a disciplined, dedicated, hard working dancer, who is interested in performing at our annual showcase, competing, and improving his or her dance skills in a wide variety of dance styles. Being a team member is for a dancer who desires to focus on flexibility, technique, turns and leaps, timing, style, and performance skills. Being a part of the Competitive Kompany should increase a child's confidence and train the student for a career in dance or theatre, but most importantly it prepares the dancer for life.
