PERFORMING GROUPS 2016-17

    The Conservatory is a “performing” school which offers performing opportunities for community events as well as hospitals and retirement homes.  Included in our schedule are three dance competitions, a workshop, and an out-of-town performance or competition… plus a newly added National Finals in 2017 in Las Vegas.  Pending schedules, we plan to again perform at Disneyland this season.  We ARE NOT a “competition school” learning one dance to compete repeatedly for the entire year but will offer a variety of choreographed pieces for our student performers.

Admission to our performing groups is by audition or invitation. All performers are required to take a ballet technique class, turns and leaps class, choreography class and the performing group meeting ½ hour class.  

Additionally, if you choose a jazz group a jazz technique class will be required.

Additionally, if you choose a contemporary group a contemporary technique class will be required.

Additionally, if you choose a tap group a tap technique class will be required.

Students will not be required to take more classes than their life style and activities will allow for their own personal comfort zone. Although “commitment” is required we respect the personal limitations of the individual and their families.

If you choose to participate in our performing groups we believe the experience will provide a bonding one for lasting friendships and teamwork which will show in your performance and your giving attitude to the community.   Our tradition continues…. And it is a happy one….
