PREP PERFORMANCE CO.
At Launch Dance Center, our goal is to make dance an enjoyable, exciting and rewarding experience for everyone who enters. Therefore, we are happy to add the Prep Performance Co. to our Performance Company program! Prep team is an opportunity for dancers to experience performing on stage (besides LDC's own annual productions) at various community venues and competing at two local competitions. Prep team introduces the dancer to the level of commitment required in Performance Company while not entering the same number of competitions as the higher levels. All dancers accepted to Performance Company are by invitation through an audition process or staff and director approval. This opportunity is a chance for the dancer to have a broader dance experience, and learn what being part of a Performance Company is all about.
JUNIOR PERFORMANCE CO.
Junior Performance Co. is the next level up from Prep Co. whereas the dancers are involved in even more performance and competition opportunities. Junior Performance Co entails additional classes which also requires additional expenses.

This competitive team competes at four regional competitions in a season..
