PERFORMANCE OPPORTUNITIES

Dance is a performing art, and we like to give our students as many opportunities as possible. We hold an annual concert in June in which all enrolled students are invited to participate. This concert has proven in the past to be an enjoyable, positive, learning experience for all.

Because dance is an art and not a sport, competition is held to a minimum. We prefer to concentrate on learning and perfecting technique rather than "competition routines." In the few competitions that we have chosen to attend, our students have won many awards.

Our Company students have been invited to perform frequently, including fashion shows and charitable organizations. They were chosen to dance in the introduction number for Rita Moreno during a national convention. Other Company performances:

*the Coca-Cola Olympic City in Atlanta
*the Orange Bowl half-time show in Miami
*Disney World's Magic Kingdom
*on the cruise ships Ecstasy, Viking Serenade, and Empress of the Seas

Participation in the Company is by audition, or teacher recommendation.
