Casting, Advancement & Placement Policies



Casting Policy
All cast placements for any production made in the best interests of the Company and the Current Production under Artistic Composition. The Artistic Director makes casting decisions according to student’s technical skill and progress. Assignment of roles may be determined by availability of costumes. Therefore, all casting is final.

Advancement and Placement
The Dance Company placement is based on a Graded Program. As such it is designed to take your dancers from their first dance experiences to performances of pre-professional and professional caliber. Students progress according to individual development and will be advanced according to evaluation by the Executive and Artistic Directors. It is not unusual for a student to remain in a level for a few years. A dancer must be challenged, not overwhelmed. Promotion is subject to each individual student’s development and is at the discretion of the Executive and Artistic Directors.

When students progress to the upper levels, there is a concomitant increase in dedication and commitment from both the student and faculty. Performing opportunities increase. Students receive the attention and training required of a professional program.
