Duet Dance Company

 

Duet Dance Company serves as Duet Dance Academy’s program for our most talented dancers who would like to take their dance training to the next level. The Company is divided into multiple levels to group dancers with similar levels of technique and experience.  Company members train 5 to 9 hours per week in ballet, tap, jazz, contemporary, and other optional styles of dance to develop skilled technique, advanced movement, and superb performance quality. These dancers attend regional competitions, dance festivals, and other performance opportunities where they represent Duet Dance Academy. They are expected to be well-rounded, poised, extremely focused, and to give the commitment expected of Company Members.

​

  • Company members must attend all competitions and festivals.  This will include three regional dance competitions, one regional convention, local dance festivals, and one optional dance convention.

  • Company members must attend a week-long Summer Intensive where they will train in technique and learn choreography for the upcoming dance season. Guest teachers and choreographers will be brought in house to work with each group.  They must also attend a choreography workshop to begin working on their full company production number.

  • Company members must remain enrolled in all required Company classes throughout the year.

  • Company members MUST attend all rehearsals/tech rehearsals the week of our annual recital.  

  • Company members are expected to be present, physically and mentally, for all classes.  Company members are allowed three (3) excused absences each semester (half of the dance year).  Missing company classes for homework or other activities is not acceptable.
