Recreational Level
Recreational Level
Designed to welcome all students regardless of age, level of ability or years dancing. Our core foundation at Stage Door Dance Studio is to focus on the love of dance and welcome students who wish to simply dance for fun or as a part time hobby. Our basic recreational classes offer no pressure to compete or meet standards.
Recreational classes are offered once or twice a week depending on class schedule. Recreational participation cost is minimal and consists of normal class fees as well as costumes.
Please note: Company Policies, Standard Rules and Regulations still apply. Attendance is still a requirement and certain requirements and prerequisites must still be met for participation in various classes. (Example: If a student wishes to take contemporary or lyrical, they
must be enrolled in a ballet class. And, If a student does not meet attendance requirements, they may not be able to perform in annual recital.)

Company Level
Company Level
Our Company Level is designed for students demonstrating a higher level of commitment and ability. Students who enter our Company Program will be pushed to excel in technique as well as given the opportunity to perform in additional Company Exclusive Classes. Company classes are much more advanced and difficult in both technique and cognitive memory.
Membership in our Company Program means additional classes and therefore requires more time and dedication than our Recreational Level. Students wishing to pursue a Company Membership should be willing to learn, and excel in the world of dance. Students should be willing to be critiqued, corrected and pushed to maintain a Company Standard of growth and development. Students must possess an ability to work both individually as well as with a group.
For a student to transition to a Company Level, they must receive an invitation from the director. Auditions are required and level of dedication must be maintained in addition to Company Membership requirements. Company membership requirements must be met prior to audition and acceptance into our Company Program.
Additional fees are required for our Company Program such as but not limited to; additional classes, instruction and costume.
