WELCOME TO THE DANCE COMPANY at GRACE STUDIOS!
COMPANY LEVELS: To allow for different levels of commitment, competition, focus and dance experience, we have FIVE levels within The Company:
– Pre-Company (for our youngest dancers)
– Silver Company (lowest commitment level)
– Iris Company
– Onyx Company (for our most dedicated dancers)
– Pre-Professional Company  (Performance only, Ages 12yrs and Up)
All Company Levels, except Pre-Company and our Pre-Professional Company, will compete at least twice per year (with the Iris and Onyx Companies attending at least 3-4 regional and Nationals every other year, along with optional conventions and additional competitions. Company Dancers will have several optional conventions to attend each year (Hollywood Vibe, Soul de Soul and Radix to name a few). You will receive the Competition/Company Schedule in August for the entire season (through August – June).
The difference between Silver, Iris, Onyx and Pre-Professional Companies is:
1. The amount of technique classes required
2. The rehearsal time required
3. The number of competitions/conventions they will attend
4. Technical level and experience
We have these leveled groups in order to provide a space for all our Company Dancers to grow at an appropriate pace, and one that can be more tailored to meet their specific needs, goals and commitment level.

Company Dancers must participate in Summer Intensives and make their weekly Company and Technique Classes a TOP Priority.
