Competitive Company Team

Dancers Age 6 - 19

The Royal Dance Company Team was developed as a specialized program for students looking to supplement their technical training with more learning experiences and performance opportunities including classes from world renowned choreographers, competitions, theatrical shows, movies, & more. 

We view performances as opportunities for our students to grow, inspire, motivate, challenge, enrich, and strive for excellence for their team mates & for themselves as individuals. We aim to do this in an environment that is upbeat & caring, with teachers and choreographers that are energetic and passionate about creating great dancers. The Company Program as a tool for encouraging and developing great people who are community-oriented, inclusive, kind, compassionate, & empathetic individuals. We aim for this through a structured framework that has higher expectations in terms of time, commitment, and behaviour among our members and their families. We make sure that students are coached with care & quality from the studio to the stage so that performers and their families are supported in their performance experiences.

    Virtual Audition Process in 5 EASY Steps:
    1. Make sure you're ready to commit to our team and season
    2. Have a parent video you for each of our below categories
    3. Upload your audition videos to Vimeo, YouTube, Google Drive, or Dropbox. If using Google or Dropbox, make sure you've set the sharing permissions correctly so we can see the video.

    Tips for a Successful Audition:
    • Look professional for your audition videos (solid color dancewear, hair done, light make-up on, and smile on your face!).
    • Plan out what you are filming as much as possible before you create your audition videos.
    • Ask a parent for help recording your videos. We suggest using a tripod or a parent with a steady hand to record the videos.
    • Find a space you can dance full-out! Don't record your audition videos in a small room that doesn't allow you to dance full-out. Videos can be recorded outside or inside.

    We encourage you to add any other moves that you would like to demonstrate; Please note – if you don’t know what the terminology is, that’s fine! You don’t need to do the move):​
    • Turns (pirouettes, chaînés, Inter/Adv dancers: fouetté, a la seconde)
    • Jumps/Leaps (jetés, arabesque, stag, russian Inter/Adv dancers: calypso/firebird, )
    • Flexibility (splits on all sides and centre, bridges, leg holds)
    • Jazz / Lyrical / Contemporary Combination/Improvisation (previous choreography you have done is fine)
We want dancers who are passionate about dance, always looking to improve, and are dedicated team players. Be a part of a community that will not only further your dance technique and abilities, but will also develop lasting friendships. Gain self confidence in an atmosphere that melds performance with self-expression.

We make achieving your personal best a priority. Our approach to our dancers’ training is aimed towards improving dance skills as well as the overall education of each student. We ensure extensive, quality training that will encourage progress in understanding of movement and strengthening of each dancers’ overall abilities. Be challenged in furthering your technique and performance quality while preparing for competitions throughout the season.

Company is one team and dancers will be guaranteed a number of group routines (see chart within our Information Guide/Registration Booklet), each specifically picked to suit the groups’ strengths/styles.
