ELITE COMPANY
Our Elite Company is our most advanced competitive line. (Ages 8-19)
Audition or invitation required. This division is for the serious dancer with the dedication and drive that is required to be a part of this award winning team.
Attends 4-5 Regional Competitions a year and Nationals. Two of these are Dance Conventions.
These dancers spend hours in the studio perfecting their technique and routines in every genre under the instruction of our highly trained professional staff.
