The Company is for the serious, more advanced student who would like to have the opportunity of performing on a regular basis. A student must audition for a spot on the Company. These students are very dedicated and study many hours each week, having a similar experience to train as members of a professional dance company. Our mission is to participate in community outreach through performing at senior homes, medical centers, schools and other facilities that house individuals who would not otherwise be exposed to the art of dance. The company has performed in NYC with the Project Dance annual event; Royal Caribbean Cruise Lines; Nassau Bahamas, Disney World, Fl; Disneyland, CA; Six Flags-Great Adventure, NJ; Hershey Park, PA; Philly Fringe Festival, PA; The International Dance Festival in LA where they were selected to represent the state of New Jersey and the USA as well as numerous charitable events, Malls, concerts, and dance festivals. The Company also participates in dance competitions and has won many outstanding and special awards for their performances and choreography.
The Ensemble (Dance Teams) is a concept started in 2001 which allows students the opportunity to perform and study dance at a more extensive rate then the recreational student. They are separate from each the Company but are similar in their mission. The program helps to prepare the training dancer for a future spot in TDC’s Dance Company, for college programs, and/or for a professional dance career. A dancer must audition for a spot on the team. Most importantly, they must be committed to the required training, rehearsals, and performances. The Ensemble performs at local charitable events, dance festivals, theme parks and local level dance competitions.
Hip Hop Crew were a new program started in 2013 for our dancers who have a passion for Hip-Hop dancing. They too must audition for the Crew. The dancers train three or more hours per week and also train with some of the top Hip-Hop dancers in our country such as BOSCO, Todd Munoz, & Clyde Evans. They perform and compete along with our Company and Ensembles.
Musical Theatre Workshop and MTW, Jr. are programs started for the student who is interested in learning all the ins & outs of being on stage or in front of the camera in a theatrical experience. Broadway style dance along with acting and singing techniques are taught. This program presents its own Showcase and also performs in our annual recital. Students from this program can be found as lead actors and singers of many local school’s as well as in professional & community theaters.
