The Dance Center offers some great opportunities with performing companies in tap, jazz, modern and hip hop. Dancers are selected for individual companies either by audition or by teacher recommendation. New dancers are welcome to try out. See company directors for more information or to discuss requirements. Auditions are usually in April. Click here to learn more

During the first week of class, you are welcome to observe classes from the lobby through studio doors and windows. We ask that you drop off your children with their teacher and observe from the lobby so they can focus on their class and instruction.  Instructors and may periodically close window or door blinds to work on special choreography or minimize distractions.
