Mini Performance Company

Age & Eligibility

For our mini company, we are looking for dancers currently ages 4-9.
Dancers must be well-behaved and attentive in all of their current classes in order to be eligible for the Performance Company. Dancers may be asked to attend a company clinic later this spring to evaluate their readiness and placement.

The Mini Company will travel to 2-3 competitions within the state. At least one of these weekends will be a convention & competition. These competitions take place on weekends from January to the beginning of March.
Dance Conventions are where the dancers take classes during the day Saturday and Sunday of the weekend and compete their dance(s) Friday and/or Saturday evening. These are our favorite events and they really lead to growth and inspiration for the dancers.
‘Competition only’ events are a bit different and the dancers just go, compete their routine(s), and that is it. These weekends are usually shorter, and the cost is less since you are not attending/paying for the masterclasses.

Company dancers are to take all classes offered for their level, as well as summer session classes. Enrolling in more classes may make your monthly tuition higher than before.
Choreography costs can vary. Last year's mini group dance cost each dancer $210 for their time spent learning it in the summer, which involves 7-9 hours to learn a single routine. As dancers get older the cost per group routine goes down significantly.
Competition costume costs.
Convention/competition costs.
Routine entry fees average $55 per dancer per routine at each event.
Convention fees can be from $180-$300 depending on age and what event we go to. Younger dancers under 8 have a shortened convention class schedule and their charges will be on the lower end for convention.
