Information and Details

​

Dancers are accepted into the Company via audition ( some dance experience is necessary) with the requirement for ongoing class commitment and training.  The youngest age we can accept is six ( with a particular cut off). Company focuses on the learning and presenting of choreography ( where as class will train technique). Typically a performing company will learn a couple of dances in a session and have approximately two venue performances ( a variety of competition, showcases and other local performances) per session also ( sometimes more - please see calendar). 

While there is understanding and respect of family and school commitments, this more dedicated performing company experience also requires a sense of commitment, and therefore sincere evaluation of the company calendar frequency is needed before joining.

Please request our company brochure and audition form for further details and pricing, but also please don't hesitate to contact

us with any more questions!

With regard to specific workshops, events or LEAF shows, these are handled via each particular project's sign up as opposed to a year round membership and class attendance.

LEAF (Limelight Educational Arts Foundation) is the charitable cause geared to enhance the dance company and performing arts experience.
