They are also respectful and encouraging to others. The scholarship award winners receive half price tuition for the year and a solo to perform at competition and recital. The Dance Attic would like to congratulate this year’s award winners, Ashton Reid, Abigail Roscoe, and Gracie Denton. All are amazing dancers as well as good role models for all our younger dancers.

If you really love to dance and would like to be even more involved, we would like to invite you to audition for our company. Company is for those dancers who would like to make dance their primary extracurricular activity and are willing to devote more time. It is similar to being on a select sports team. You can expect more practice time, more performances, more competitions, and more FUN!
Company members have the opportunity to participate in dance at a different level. You must be in company to be able to do an invitational piece. Dancers in invitational pieces are eligible to do a solo, duet, or trio. The company also has the opportunity to perform around the community and in three additional dance competitions. Company members are also required to take summer classes and maintain good attendance to classes throughout the year. It is a big commitment, but also very rewarding!
Auditions will be held the week of June 18-20. Those who would like to audition will come to the intensive and learn a short dance combination that week. On Wednesday the 20th you will perform the combination in small groups for a panel of judges. If you would like to audition, but are unable to be there that week, you will need to schedule a make-up audition.
There will be a poster in the lobby with sheets to put your name, age at the time of auditions, and school grade. The cost will be 1/2 Summer tuition which is $250 plus a $25 audition fee. Those auditioning for company also have the option to purchase the summer package which will allow you to take all summer classes for $500. This is a great value for company dancers who are required to take summer classes. We are looking forward to next year and have many great plans already. We hope you will join us! Please feel free to email with questions.
