Elite Company is for dancers who want to train more heavily in dance, expand there knowledge through additional classes, conventions, & compete on a regional/national level. It is divided into 3 age divisions:
Mini/Pre Junior, Junior, & Teen. Our Company dancers range in age 5-18. During the dance season, they attend conventions where
they will learn from some of the biggest choreographers
in the industry, & also compete with dancers from all over the country.
How do I become an Elite Company Dancer?
BDC holds a OPEN AUDITION every June to choose dancers for our upcoming competition season! This Audition is open to all dancers in the area, as well as last years Company dancers. Please keep a lookout for our audition date (we will post it on Facebook, website, slide show at BDC Live! (recital), mass email to all on file, etc). If you are a transfer student, have previous competition experience, & would like to transfer mid season...or missed auditions, please call to set up a private audition. Come be a part of what's current, unique, & on top of what's happening in the dance industry.
What to work on to become an Elite Company Dancer?
Technique (point through feet & control movement)
Flexibility (splits, leaps, & kicks)
Stage Presence
Triple Threats (BDC loves dancers who have Acro tricks & tumbling!- but is not a requirement)
Balance/core (turns)
A willingness & determination to learn, practice, & advance.
We not only bring in the best choreographers in the industry for our competition teams... but we offer open workshops (yearly) with those same choreographers from L.A., open to all BDC Dancers & any dancer!

Dancers who auditioned for Tap Co. & did not make the team this season...we would love to have you audition next season, after a year (or an additional year if you took last season) of taking an Open Tap class or Mini Dance Combo starting in the Fall (to brush up on some Tap skills).
Dancers who auditioned for Elite Co. & did not make the team this season...we would love to have you audition next season. Our Open classes we offer in the Fall would be great for dancers who plan to audition next season, or Company dancers who want to take extra weekly classes. We recommend: Open Jazz Technique, Open Lyrical/Contemporary, Open Ballet, Open Hip Hop, & Tumbling (Level 1 or 2).

Please read all detailed info on the summer form regarding dance wear, dates, fees, etc. A parent packet will go out in September with more detailed info on everything & a required shoe list etc. will be out July 21 for Fall Classes.
Please wear a leotard or dance bra top, dance shorts (NO athletic/cheer shorts/leggings/capris/pants etc.), nude tights (or no tights), tan Jazz shoes (if you do not have tan...you may wear any color Jazz shoe or Ballet shoes for now), no jewelry except stud earrings, and hair up and off of the face.
*Please note that there are many factors that go into solos and grouping of dancers. Dancers are grouped whom compliment each other onstage, and what will result in a well rounded routine. I encourage any dancer that signed up but did not receive a solo/or another dance grouping that they preferred for this season, to sign up next season (dancers sometimes compete a duo/trio before transitioning to a Solo, but are not required). Dancers were selected/grouped per Britt's discretion (this was stated on the sign up sheet) and were completely optional outside of your mandatory Company group routines. Additional cost is involved outside of mandatory company fees etc.*
***A group text will be sent out tomorrow TO BOOK YOUR CHOREO SESSION. Time slots come on a first come first serve basis, in the order in which you reply to on the group text. As stated on the Co. Calendar Choreo fees for this are due this Thursday 11/2 & costume fees due Tuesday 11/14... NO LATER! Spots are first come first serve and only available this weekend 11/3-11/5.
Thanks in advance for your cooperation. We look forward to another great competition season!
