Company Class is a program offered in the Spring to students in the Quatrième and Épaulment programs. Designed for students who are interested in extra dance time and deep involvement in the July Portfolio Production, this program challenges them to step out of their comfort zones and explore new experiences. It involves extra rehearsal times from January to May, as well as a 3-week long Summer Intensive in June in which participants rehearse daily and assist in costume construction and production of the July Portfolio. Students must pass a strength and flexibility exam to qualify for Company Class, and show improvement in these areas throughout the Spring. Fitness exam will change from last years requirements.
