Our Dance Company is a unique chance for dancers to get more individualized attention, more dance classes, and opportunities for performances in the community. They also attend a couple competitions/conventions during the year with the emphasis being on getting feedback on how to get better, as well as taking classes from master teachers. This year’s company is composed of seven dancers–three Junior Company members and four Petite Company members. Below is a little bit about each of them. You will see they all come with different experiences, different reasons for joining, but they all share a love of dance and being with friends.
