Our competitive company is for the more serious dancer starting at age 5 through 18. The company will be required to take technique classes in all genres of dance. They will work with choreographers to learn pieces that will be competed at local competitions and events. Our focus is to enhance and master dance technique and artistry.

The competitive company competes in Ballet, Tap, Jazz, Hip Hop, Contemporary, Lyrical, Open and Musical Theater. If you are interested in specializing in one style we do offer an option to participate in our competitive company in Ballet, Tap or Hip Hop.

This company consists of our Mini Company (ages 8-11), Junior Company (ages 11-14), Teen Company (13+) and Senior Company (14+). Ages vary based on ability and company placement. Weekly technical / class requirements are set by company. Ballet is our foundation and the Mini, Junior & Teen company dancers are required to take 2 or more classes in Ballet each week in addition to other styles (Senior Company is required to take one 1.5 hr ballet class; if a student wants to participate in Pointe they must take 2 ballet classes weekly).

Senior Company is designed to allow active High School dancers to participate in Drill / Dance Team, Theater, sports. etc. in addition to participating in a competitive company.  Their required classes (5) are 2 evenings per week with rehearsals being held on the same day as their classes leaving most weekends free for other activities.

The company will attend 2-4 regional and or TX conventions and compete at 2-3 local regional competitions (some of which will be combined with a dance convention). The company will travel to Nationals every other year (next travel season is 2024-25)

To enhance our dance education the company will attend two in house master classes/conventions.

We plan like to attend a national event every other year and offer a dance experience trip the opposing years. (New York, Los Angeles, Chicago, etc.)

Solos, duos, and trios will be optional for those interested between the ages of 6-18.

The Itty Bitty & Petite Company is our youngest dance companies. This is a great way for our younger dancers to get started in competitive dance without a huge time commitment. This Itty Bitty company (ages 5-8) is required to take Pre-Ballet (1 hour) and a 2 45 minute Technique (Jazz & Tap) combined with rehearsals for their competition dances (3 hours total). The Petite Company (ages 7-10) is required to take Ballet, Leaps & Turns, Tap and a Jazz Technique class (all technique classes are held in one evening). They participate in 3 dances (jazz, tap & lyrical) with their rehearsals held on Saturday.
