Competition Division

Company is the competition team here at Danceworks.  Company dancers receive multiple performance opportunities each season and build lasting friendships with their teammates along the way.

Any dancers ages 5-18 by January 1st, 2023.

Dancers can choose to be very involved with Company, enrolling in multiple routines, or light participation with 1-2 routines.  All Company members take 3 hours of weekly technique classes in addition to their rehearsal hour(s).  Optional solos, duos, trios would require more commitment.

Cost varies depending on how many routines your dancer chooses to participate in. Group routines are typically $60 per routine, per competition.  There is a one-time admin fee of approximately $255.

We keep our auditions friendly and supportive.  Dancers will be taught short combinations and asked to perform what they learn in front of the audition judges.  Auditions are closed to spectators.
We ask that parents stay at/nearby the studio during the audition for dancers 11 and under.

Registration for auditions is under the EVENTS tab in your Jack Rabbit Portal.  New to Danceworks?  Register via sddanceworks.com. Wear form-fitting dance attire in the color and style of your choice. Hair pulled back neatly off the face.  The technical style audition includes turns, leaps, demonstration of flexibility; across the floor combos to demonstrate the ability to pick up style and choreography; show off specialty tricks and technique. For technical style audition wear turning or jazz shoes. Street shoes for hip hop and tap shoes for the tap audition.

Joining Dance Company is exciting and allows dancers to take their training to the next level.  As with any sport, it is also a time commitment that should be carefully considered.  We recommend that any dancer interested in Dance Company attend auditions. At best they make Company. If that doesn’t happen, they at least know what to expect from auditions and what they can work on to pursue Dance Company in the future. An agreement will be emailed upon making Company, and dancers can choose to commit to the team or not at that point.
