​

General guidelines are as follows:​

​

Company Groups

Our Company Groups are designed for dedicated dancers interested in studying the true art of dance at an elite level, mastering proper technique and execution of movement.   These dancers will train with our accomplished local staff and guest artists throughout the country.  Their training commitment will cover ballet, jazz/contemporary, lyrical, and hip-hop disciplines with tap and Pointe as optional offerings.  Overall training ranges from 5.5 to 12 hours a week plus rehearsal time.  These students will compete in regional and national events throughout the year, gaining exposure and recognition throughout the country.

​

4 Company Levels

Advanced Company Full Season - Dancers ages 10 through High School

Advanced Company Partial Season - High School Age Dancers

Junior Company - Dancers ages 9 - 14

Mini Company Age Range 5-10 (Age 5 by August 1st, 2023)

 

Performance Teams

Our Performance Team Groups are designed for beginner through advanced dancers that want to take advantage of the proper training that Inspire has to offer but have less time in their weekly schedule to commit.  Students in this program will study ballet and jazz with optional offerings in lyrical, hip hop, and tap. Performance Team members will spend dance 3-6 hours a week training (depending upon their placement level) and are invited to attend several local competitions, one convention, and the opportunity to attend additional events with our company members.
