Company Overview

The path to competitive dance classes begins here

Our competitive program is a company team designed for students ages 4 through 18 who truly feel that dance is one of their utmost gifts, callings, and passions. With 3-12+ required hours (depending on age and level) of commitment per week, competitive dance is not for everyone. However, for those who are able to put in the extra effort, time, and focus, competitive dance provides one of the most rewarding experiences imaginable!

Company Team Requirements and Expectations


  • All dancers interested in joining HDC's Company program must audition for placement. If selected, dancers will be placed by HDC staff in the team and class levels most appropriate for their age, ability, and overall development.
  • Auditions for the 2026-2027 Company season have already been held on Wednesday and Thursday, July 22 & 23, 2026. Please visit our Company Auditions page for full details, including age breakdowns and audition information.
  • All Company team members are expected to be available for all required competitions and to attend all required classes and rehearsals with minimal absences. Multiple unexcused absences may result in consequences.
  • Team members should be prepared to compete in a minimum of 3-4 dances, if selected. In addition, all Company dancers are required to participate in their regular class dances.
  • Company teams typically attend 4-5 weekend competitions and/or conventions each season. These events often run Friday through Sunday, with competitions generally taking place between February and May. Nationals are typically held in late June or early July. There may also be select opportunities for training or competition during the fall.
  • All Company team members are required to participate in the Competition Showcase, typically held in February or March, as well as HDC's end-of-year Recital.
  • Dancers may also be selected for small groups, special pieces, and solos/duets/trios at the discretion of the directors. Participation in these additional routines may be encouraged, but is not required in all cases.
  • Company members are expected to demonstrate a strong commitment to the team by participating fully in rehearsals, performances, team events, and other opportunities that support the growth and overall strength of the group.
Limited spots are also available for dancers interested in non-competitive Company-level training. These placements are offered on a case-by-case basis for students who would benefit from higher-level training without full competitive commitment. Please call or email for more information.
