DANCE COMPANY SCHEDULE (SEPT-MAY)

COMPANY CLASSES CONSIST OF TWO PARTS
  • Company Class: this is the class where company members are taught their choreography for the specific routines that will be performed at competition. Each Company Class (i.e., routine) consists of a certain style of dance such as hip hop, lyrical, contemporary, jazz, etc…
  • Technique Class: due to the limited amount time available in the company class to learn the required choreography and prepare for competition, each Company Member is also expected to register for certain technique classes. Each routine will have at least one required technique class and many will have two. In addition to the required technique classes, other classes are encouraged based on the style of dance for each routine.

In order to prepare for competition, extra rehearsals will be scheduled throughout the fall season. These rehearsals are mandatory and attendance at these rehearsals is tracked against your commitment fee. Rehearsals will be scheduled during the following weeks:

Rehearsal days and times are determined based on the need of each company team/routine and so the final schedule for each session will be posted shortly before each session. If highlighted and underlined, click on the above link for schedule details.

Company Members are expected to participate in and attend all extra rehearsals. Extra rehearsals are included in the Company attendance requirements and part of the Contract Commitment Deposit.

Subscribe to our Calendar at the bottom of the Calendar View page.

In order to prepare each Company Member for competition, there is a mandatory In-House Convention scheduled the second weekend in February (Friday evening and Saturday). The weekend begins with each company member participating in some Master Classes. “Master Class” is a dance term which means a specialized class taught by an expert. As such, these Master Classes give each student the opportunity to learn choreography, skill, style, and technique from a guest teacher/judge and are for ALL of our Dance Company members (Junior, Senior, Master, and Elite).

Subsequent to the Master Classes portion of the weekend, our Company Members will perform their dances in full costume with full stage props for a panel of judges. Immediately following their performance, company members will receive critiques from the judges and be given the opportunity to implement changes/corrections on the spot. In past years, we have found this event to be extremely beneficial for both the students and Company staff. The end result is that we go to our first competition more prepared and confident in costuming, style, technique, and staging.

Payment and registration for this event is included on your invoice and is collected no later than the November billing. Please note participation/attendance at this event is part of the Company Commitment Contract Deposit. Parents and family members are welcome to attend.

HANDICAP PARKING

There is a designated handicap parking lot adjacent to Door #1 in the main parking lot. You can access this parking lot by entering at the Mt. Zion sign off Maybee Rd. Please note, there are a limited number of spaces in this lot so if a handicap space is needed, we encourage you to arrive early. Depending on traffic, we also have the ability to ‘drop off’ any family member with limited mobility at Door #1 and then it is possible for the driver to finish parking the vehicle and meet their family member in the center lobby. Again, if this is of interest, we recommend you arrive early. Otherwise, traffic patterns limit maneuverability in the parking lot to park your vehicle after Drop Off. We look forward to seeing you at our events and if you have any questions, please call us at (248) 391-6166.

ABOUT US

Focused on living a healthy lifestyle, the facility will offer classes to strengthen and define muscles, improve balance, and increase stamina. Coaches will be prepared to offer modifications to meet the level of each student in the class. Our facility is suitable for those just starting out on their journey and those who have been focused on fitness for a while. What to expect:

  • We encourage comfortable modest activewear and ask that you wear indoor sneakers when in the fitness center.
  • We offer two locker rooms with changing areas, one of which has showers.
  • We have all the fitness equipment you need but encourage you to bring your own yoga mat to class. We offer foam mats which are great for fitness and restorative yoga, but many prefer a thinner mat for slow flow classes.
