You’ve heard us talk about our performing company teams here at 3-D Dance, but how do you know if joining the team is the right path for your child? First, it’s important to remember that we believe that ALL of our students are valuable, no matter how many classes they take or if they are recreational or pre-professional dancers! The purpose of the 3-D Dance performing company is to expand the dancer's world beyond weekly classes by offering a variety of experiences including performances, conventions, workshops, festivals and competitions. While there are many benefits to participating in performing company, here are three major benefits:

Dancers are known for their sometimes circus-like contortions, whether it’s pulling a leg to their forehead or bending their back in an arabesque. Along with technique class and strengthening exercises, stretching is likely one of the largest parts of a dancer’s daily regimen. But what about “stretching” something other than your hamstrings?

At 3-D Dance, we are committed to promoting a “body positive” culture—but what does that mean exactly, and why is it so important? It means that we believe dance is for every BODY, no matter their size or shape. It means that we are sure we can affect positive change to every child’s body image; that every student of ours can hear that their body can be strong, capable, healthy, and yes—beautiful.
