company
The Company is our Competitive team, these are the dancers that dance has become their passion, and they are dedicated to the permute of excellence in their dancing. Whether they are pursuing dance as a career or this is their sport while in school, they are developing life skills to thrive in their future.
We believe that dance is a team sport. We help our dancers navigate through discovering the best version of themselves through achievements and heartaches. We hold this Company to high standards of excellence not only in the studio, but also in the community.
Being a Company Member at The Studio is a privilege, not a right. The competition may be fierce to get onto this team, but the efforts are worth it.
Being a part of The Studio’s Company is a self-esteem building, energetic and priceless learning experience. You will be amazed by how much your child will accomplish and learn in this program. We are different than other competition teams!
Our purpose is to be an encouragement at competitions as well as present clean, uplifting pieces. These teams take pieces to Denver 3-6 times per year to compete as well as participate in weekend long conventions.
You will be a part of an exciting and awesome group of your peers, directed by Ms. Jennissa or Ms. Marissa!
