Premier Company
Our Petites graduate to our Premier Company. The Premiers are made up of 9-12 year olds. All Premiers take Ballet, Tap, Jazz, Jazz technique, and a company class. They can add Acro and/or clogging optionally. At different points during the year they also learn hip hop, lyrical, and contemporary during their regular classes. Premiers participate in an annual Choreography Camp where they learn choreography for the coming season. When you reach the Premier level you are invited to audition for competitive small groups (tap, jazz, and lyrical), and also the Main Street Mini’s. Premiers are also given the opportunity to do a solo and/or duet for competition. This company performs in our annual Christmas Show, 2 Christmas Parades, 2 regional competitions, and our Premier Company Showcase in May. If you do a solo or duet, you are also invited to dance in our annual Solo/Duet Show. Being a Premier gives you a lot of performance opportunities, and it also furthers your jazz, tap, and ballet training, as well as provides you with other fun style exposure.
