Convention Information
Conventions provide an important opportunity for dancers to
continue and expand their dance education by learning many
different aspects of dance. Included would be the art of quick
study in learning choreography, rather than in a classroom
atmosphere where a dancer works technique and a routine for an
entire season, as well as having to adopt to several different
choreographers and unique styles.
FDA Performance Company Showcase
The FDA Performance Company Showcase is presented in early
February. This is a great opportunity for the community and for
the dancers friends and family to see the dances for the
upcoming competition season. In addition to the FDA Performance
Company dances, guest artists are also invited to perform.
Call the studio for future information and tickets.
Christmas In The City
This show is an opportunity for FDA dancers who desire an
additional performance without the intensive time and financial
commitment of the competition Performance Company. The show
consists of many different types of dance from Ballet to Hip
Hop, so all eligible dancers are encouraged to participate.
Call the studio for future information and tickets.
Regional Competition Information
The FDA Performance Company will participate in 3-4 regional
weekend competitions. These events provide an opportunity for
dancers to perform for large audiences and judges. Although the
dancers compete for ribbons, medals, trophies, and cash awards,
the biggest reward is a greater appreciation for dance, renewed
self-confidence, satisfaction for teamwork and the determination
to do even better at the next competition.
National Competition Information
The Performance Company will attend a National Competition in
the early summer. National competitions are usually a week long
event. Many parents/guardians choose to make a family vacation
in conjunction. It is usually held at an exciting destination.
Summer Intensive Study Trips
The summer intensive study trip to either new York City or Los
Angeles is an opportunity for dancers to take classes at dance
companies/studios, such as American Ballet Theatre, Steps on
Broadway, Broadway Dance Center and the EDGE Performing Arts
Center. This is an optional opportunity for FDA Performance
Company dancers. As an opportunity to expand their dance
horizons, the dancers will experience the arts within different
cultural environments. In addition to classes, those
participating in the weeklong event will attend professional
theatrical shows and sightsee.
