tDA Performance Company
Petite Company
Our Petite Company is for dancers that will be ages 5-8 by September 1st of the competition year. We believe in a positive group experience for the youngest dancers. Petite Company learns 1-2 group dances per season along with selected solos, duos and trios. Group dances build a strong foundation for working as a team while solos, duos, and trios offer additional opportunities to perform for those students that are ready. Dancers on this team will participate in:
Four local dance competitions each season
Various community performances and outreach
Professional photo shoot and on-location video
Featured in Our Spring Showcase
Team building and social events
Four Pillars of tDA Performance Company
1. Training over Trophies
We prioritize teaching and working on clean technique and strong foundations over mass-producing routines.
2. Teamwork
Younger students compete exclusively in groups to learn collaboration and community.
Performance Company Mission
Our mission is to inspire dancers ages 5-18 to achieve excellence on the competitive stage while growing in a safe, loving, and nurturing environment.
Performance Company Vision
Our vision is to build healthy, technically elite dancers by focusing on deep training over trophies, shifting intentionally from collaborative group teamwork for younger dancers to specialized solos, duets, and trios as they mature.
Teen Company
Our Teen Company is designed for dancers ages 9–18 by September 1 of the competition year. We intentionally shift from traditional group performance to solos, duos, and trios, allowing dancers to invest their energy in pieces that highlight their individual strengths, artistry, and performance goals. By reducing hours spent on group rehearsal and cleaning, dancers have more focused time to refine technique, develop confidence, and perfect their individual performance quality—all while creating greater flexibility to participate in school dance teams and other extracurricular activities.

3. Individual Growth
As students grow, mature and develop stronger dance technique, they transition to small-group or solo work to refine personal artistry and avoid burnout.
4. Healthy Mindset
We teach dancers to compete against their own potential, not against other dancers or studios.
