The company track
What the company asks of a family
We say it plainly, so a family can decide before an audition.

Four events and one convention
A season holds four events and one convention. The company goes to each as a group, and families are told the full list in the fall. This site prints no results, and we ask families to judge us by the class, the teachers and the work on the studio floor.
The season by month
Hours that grow with the level
Hours grow with the level, from about six a week for the Junior Company to about eighteen for the pre-professional level. Costumes, entries, the convention and travel are extras, named on the how tuition works page.

How auditions work
- 01
Step 1: Book a placement visit
A class with our teachers at the level that seems to fit, and a short talk with the director afterward.
- 02
Step 2: Audition in a class
An audition is a class in our studio. Dancers wear practice clothes, with hair up. There is no video and no solo to prepare.

Step 3: Meet the teachers
The teachers talk with the dancer and the family about the level, the hours and what the season asks.
- 04
Step 4: Hear in writing
Families receive the decision by letter, with the level and the schedule, before registration opens.
