PERFORMANCE COMPANY
what we offer
Launch Dance Center is excited to offer select dancers more performance opportunities as members of LDC's Performance Company. The purpose of our Performance Co. is to give dancers more opportunities to be on stage and utilize our competitions as performance platforms to improve artistry and technique. As members of our performance company, dancers have the option to perform in our annual Nutcracker Production, our annual Competition Preview, and our annual Spring Production.
Dancers will also compete in regional dance competitions, participate in dance convention(s), and perform at community events.
Those dancers participating in the public schools Independent PE Program will fulfill their competition requirements for their school credit.
Additional cost is applicable. This is a great opportunity for dancers to take their training to the next level and be part of a team! Please contact the office for more information.

TWINKLING STARS
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 Twinkling Stars team to our Performance Company program! Twinkling stars team is an opportunity for dancers to experience performing on stage (aside from LDC's own annual productions) at various community venues and competing at two local competitions. Twinkling Stars 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.
