We will be holding an open audition for our current dancers.
Selected dancers will join re-invited existing company dancers to make up various teams for our 2012-2013 dance season. We will be auditioning dancers age 5-18 for teams including tap, ballet, jazz, modern, lyrical/contemporary, hip hop and musical theatre.
Why audition students who are in class weekly? It’s very important that dancers know what they’re auditioning for. The expectations and commitment of a company dancer are very high. First, A2D company classes are run differently than recreational classes. The goal of company classes is to perfect one routine to compete at several dance competitions. Company dancers must be able to receive and apply corrections, have a respectful attitude with staff and teammates, have a good to high level of dance technique, have excellent attendance record and give 110 percent in every rehearsal.
The dance “season” runs the full school year – September through June – just like our dance year. Our competition season runs generally in March and April, but can be anywhere from January thru May. We release the dates of competitions in early September. The ENTIRE WEEKEND of the competitions must be left free, since we do not find out when the routines will compete until approximately two weeks prior. The dancer cannot miss a competition. If a competition is missed, they will be excused from the team. If the dancer misses the last competition, they will not be invited back the next season. For company classes (classes rehearsing your company routines), your dancer may miss NO MORE THAN THREE unexcused classes, and NO MORE THAN 25% of other scheduled classes without being excused from company team(s).
For parents of company dancers, there is a financial responsibility above and beyond recreational classes. Each competition carries an entry fee per dancer, per routine. Also, company dancers are required to take additional classes, raising their monthly tuition rate. Every week they must take 1-3 ballet classes (depending on age), a required technique class, and a core class strengthening their company dance (a jazz class for their jazz company).
Below is a basic breakdown of fees to give an idea of the financial responsibility.
$150 - Company Warm Up
$105 – ($35 Group Fee x 3 Competitions)
$265 – Required Convention
$40 – Makeup, Hair Products, Etc.
$70 – Competition Costume
$630
Please note the fees listed are “one time” fees. Not listed are additional monthly tuition, etc. Also, these fees are based on being on one team. Dancing on additional teams means additional competition fees and costume fees.

Yes, being an A2D Company Dancer takes a lot of work and commitment, but there are so many great benefits, too! Aside from becoming a strong dancer and great performer, the dancers develop wonderful friendships with their fellow teammates, they develop great sportsmanship and they earn well deserved pride from their accomplishments throughout the year.
This June, three-quarters of our team is heading to Orlando to dance in Downtown Disney and enjoy the week soaking up the Florida summer sun and fun of the Disney parks; an activity we hope to continue every few years!
