What skills are needed for Companies?
Jazz and Ballet experience is necessary for all Companies except Tap Production Company. Dancers in Hip-Hop Company MUST have strong, disciplined dance technique. All Companies will perform in BOTH recitals. All Company dancers will recueve a company contract in the mail and will be due no later than th first day of class.
Dismissal from Companies
A serious attitude, dedication and the proper approach to a Company is as important as the technical abilities of the dancer. It should be noted that without such qualities, one cannot succeed in Company. It is only fair to the other members of a Company that a dancer CANNOT REMAIN IN THE COMPANY unless ALL of the above requirements are met.
Company dancers can miss no more than FIVE (5) classes PER Company throughout the current dance season regardless of the reason or they will be dismissed from that Company. In that case no refunds can be given and all ordered costumes must be paid in full.
