TEAM AUDITIONS FOR 2023-2024:
Our elite company is designed with serious dance students in mind and we consider every dancer an athlete. Our program is a balanced study between recreational (performance opportunities) and competitive. It also has collegiate programs in mind for future study in dance. MDC believes in balance of fun, family, school and being a kid, which we don't ask more than 3 nights in the studio a week for team classes. Our Musical Theater (MT) competition team is designed for the dancer that wants to compete without a heavy committment. MT team meets once a week and do 1-2 routines in the musical theater/jazz genre. This team is an award winning program lead by Ms. Debbie who currently has past students touring as part of the cast of Hamilton, Dirty Dancing and much more!
