The Company

About


 

The national award winning Company, founded by Dianna Jones and under the artistic direction of Summer Bonnecaze, offers dancers the opportunity to study at a more serious level, focusing on preparing the student for a professional career in dance.

 

Acceptance to The Company is by audition only. Divided into separate divisions, placement is determined by the Director depending on age, ability, potential and overall work ethic. Auditions are open and held at the studio once a year in May.

 

Dancers may participate in one or all of our elite programs once accepted. Requirements are based upon the age and level of the dancer, as well as whether the dancer is participating in one or more of these programs.

Who We Are

Company members are well prepared for both concert work, as well as the ever changing commercial world. Past performing members of The Company have been awarded scholarships in dance to some of the nation's top universities. Others have gained international recognition, performing with professional companies around the globe. Many have enjoyed commercial success in tv, film, theatre, music videos and industrials.

 

Company members have been accepted to the School of American Ballet, ABT, The Rock School and Joffrey as well as top universities such as NYU, Chapman, Boston Conservatory, Marymount, Northwestern, and The Juilliard School. Master teachers and top choreographers from around the country travel to the studio each year giving dancers the opportunity to study with a cross section of today's elite.

What We Do

We are comprised of dancers ranging from ages 7 to 19. Our members have the opportunity to train in different styles including ballet, contemporary, pointe, jazz, hip hop, musical theater and tap.

 

We believe the development of the dancers' overall artistic impression is a priority, as well as intense technical training. As an integral part of a dancer's training, company members are given the chance to perform before a variety of different audiences. Members regularly audition and win scholarships allowing them to study with prestigious schools across the nation.
