Dance Company Of Madison

Owned & directed by Beth Cannon and Julie George, our goal at the Dance Company is to provide the best dance instruction available in a positive environment. We only hope that dance can bring you a small measure of the happiness and joy that it has brought to us. Our team of instructors and support staff look forward to working with you and/or your child.

Recital
Participation in the recital is optional; however, we feel that stage performance is a very important part of the student's dance training. It is the time when you are able to see and appreciate the advancement of your child's dance ability. By participating in the performance, the students will learn how to follow stage directions, gain stage presence and develop confidence in their abilities.

Costumes
Costumes are required for those students participating in our annual dance revue. Parents, you are responsible for verifying your child's size to be ordered as well as indicating if you wish a costume ordered or not. (This is done during parents' week when you visit your children's classes.) Costume fees, as follows are due by October 3rd. Stage Arts - $53.95; 5 year combo - $56.95; elementary levels - $59.95; all levels intermediate and up - $65.95.

Competition Groups
Students participating in competition groups must take ballet, and are encouraged to take tap, jazz and acrobatics. Competition groups are chosen by audition by an outside panel of judges. Competition dancers are required to take competition classes in addition to their regular dance classes.

Newsletter
As a courtesy to our students and parents we distribute a quarterly newsletter. Please pay careful attention to these newsletters, as this is our way of communicating with you.

Visitors
Because our time belongs to our students, no visitors are allowed in any class. The exception to this rule is during Visitors Week. You will be notified in advance of these dates.

Dance Attire
