Participation in the recital is optional; however, we feel that stage performance is a very important part of the student's dance training. It is the time when you are able to see and appreciate the advancement of your child's dance ability. There is a recital fee billed to your account in February. By participating in the performance, the students will learn how to follow stage directions, gain stage presence and develop confidence in their abilities. Each year our recital is held in the Mark Smith Concert Hall at the Von Braun Center.
Costumes are required for those students participating in our annual dance revue. Costume fees are billed to your account during October. Information will be sent via e-mail with payment dates, etc.
Students interested in becoming a Company Dancer should see the office in the Spring for paperwork regarding our audition process. Competition groups are chosen by TDC staff members as well as clinicians hired by the studio. You may see more information on our Company Dancer page. TDC Company Dancers are directed by Beth Cannon, Julie George, Adam Ackerman, Mati Anderson and Haylee Benson.
Students who are participants in the CDB program have the opportunity to audition for our production of The Nutcracker each year. Please see our Corps de Ballet program page for more information. Corps de Ballet is directed by Melissa Barnett and Pre-Corps de Ballet is directed by Kristine Taff.
Because our time belongs to our students, no visitors are allowed in any class.
Dance attire required for each class is listed with the curriculum.
