ELITE Dance Company
Artistic Directors: April Hobson and Nicole Wesley

​

The Elite Dance Company (EDC) is a competitive team of dancers ages 5 and up who wish to be part of a rigorous dance program that focuses on advancing technical and performance skills in all genres.  EDC emphasizes training diverse and skilled performers and providing performance and competition opportunities throughout the year.  We take great pride in EDC and have high expectations for all members.  EDC is a by audition only.


EDC Mission:  


*Excite  *Lead  *Inspire *Team  *Excellence


The mission of Elite Dance Company is to provide excellence in dance training through intensive rehearsal processes in a variety of dance genres with professionals in the field that offers pre-professional and competitive dance experiences for all its members.
 

EDC Expectations:


  • Members are expected to understand and demonstrate, to the BEST of his or her ability, a knowledge of techniques and dance vocabularies, i.e. Ballet, Tap and Jazz/Hip Hop
  • KEEPING THE LINES OF COMMUNICATION WIDE OPEN IS IMPERATIVE. Members and Parents MUST keep WDE informed about any and all scheduling conflicts.
  • Members are expected to be fully present in all rehearsals, energetic, consistent, dependable, fully attentive and committed all semester. WORKING HARD in all rehearsals, tours (when available), and performances are absolutely necessary.
  • GOOD ATTITUDE and RESPECT FOR TEAM.  Members are expected to keep a positive, open-minded, respectful and considerate attitude in and outside the studio.
  • PROMPTNESS.  Being prompt is extremely important for yourself and for your team.
  • SUPPORT of all company members.  EDC members are expected to support and encourage each other throughout the season.  
  • COSTUMES: Members of the competition team will wear separate costumes for each routine they are part of. (In addition to regular technique class uniforms) These costumes will be worn at competition, all performances and in the Spring Concert. In order to best fit a routine, certain costumes will be ordered from a professional costume company. If necessary, a final fitting with a seamstress will be done. Rhinestones may be added to the costume. WDE always strives to do their best to keep costumes at a reasonable cost while ensuring we have a high-quality, professional dance wardrobe.    
  • HAIR & MAKE-UP: All dancers will be required to have the same make-up & hair for individual competition works, performances and for the Spring Concert. A uniform look on stage is best.  As the competition season approaches, EDC will have a hair and make-up class and a list of suggested make-up to purchase on you own.
  •  COMPETITION AWARDS: Trophies earned by soloists will be given to the individual dancer. Duo/Trio trophies will be evenly distributed to each dancer throughout the competition season. Group/Line/Production trophies will be displayed at the studio. Any cash prizes at a Regional of National Competition will go directly to the team account.
