Our Company Programs
We offer four progressive company programs for dancers ages six through high school. The C Program is designed for dancers transitioning out of our Ballet/Jazz combo classes, typically ages 6–8. C+ Company serves dancers ages 8–11, followed by B Company for ages 11–14. Our most advanced level, A Company, is for dancers ages 14–18 and focuses on advanced technique and performance.
While age is a general guideline, annual evaluations are required to ensure dancers are meeting the skill expectations of their level. Dancers must successfully complete their assigned skill set before advancing to the next program, allowing for proper placement and continued growth.
