Troupe
Alive Danceworks Troupe Program
Travel with the troupe and perform all over!
This is our professional division of Alive Danceworks and is for the more serious dancer. Beginning at age 9, these girls/boys dance many hours per week learning technique in many disciplines as well as choreography they will perform all over!
Production
The 2009/2010 Troupe Dancers will be performing in a production of a popular story (it's a secret until June 8th). The dancers rehearse during their class time for group numbers and can audition in September for lead roles. The lead roles may be asked to attend rehearsals outside of class time.
Festivals/Extra Shows
The students will participate in festivals and shows during the year. Some of the festivals are no charge to the students. Others will have fees that go along with. These fees will be non-refundable and after they are paid, we expect that the students will attend the festival. These festivals often take place on the weekends in the spring time. We expect that students will attend and if they are not able, they will give the studio lots of notice.
Solos/Duets
Are an option for Troupe Students only and must be approved by Miss Jenn. Please visit her with a style in mind.
Travel
Every second year the Performance Troupe is given a travel opportunity. In the past years we have visited and performed in Disneyland, California Adventure, Universal Studios, Catelina Island, San Diego, Monarch Of The Seas Cruise Ship and with Carnival Cruise Lines. As well, the students have visited multiple studios on our adventures. Millenium Dance Complex and EDGE both in L.A are 2 of our favorites.
The students often fundraise to help pay for these fun adventures. The fundraising is always optional Travel expenses are over and above studio fees.
We have a great time learning and performing all over!
We don't always travel far away... We often take little weekend adventures to places close to home. Banff and Edmonton are 2 places we visited in the past.

Expectations
AS A TROUPE STUDENT - I commit to being punctual for the start of all my classes. I understand that I must come prepared with proper dance attire, knowledge of my choreography and a strong focused presence of mind and body. I will treat my classmates, teachers and parents involved with respect. I also understand that it is my responsibility to stay on top of all the on goings of the studio and any information on upcoming events.
AS A TROUPE PARENT - I commit to taking an active role in the dance experience that my child has chosen. My involvement will include helping in organizing my child's time and transportation in order to be punctual for dance class. I understand there are numerous shows, rehearsals, festivals, workshops, trips and more that take place outside of class time. I will be sure to watch the studio calendar and notices and do my best to ensure that the student is able to attend these extras. I understand that there are extra fees beyond the cost of class instruction. This may include; costume fees, workshop fees, travel fees, troupe uniform fees, ticket sales and more.
