Footage Youth Dance Company

Our mission for this group is to provide young dancers with the opportunity to experience a professional dance atmosphere; and to be the face of Feet First in the community. These youth dancers will learn dedication, commitment, perseverance, motivation, time management skills, and self-expression through dance.  There will be an annual fee for all company members in addition to a costume fee and festival fees.

You must audition to become a member of the company. Auditions are held in May or early June. It is $10.00 a person to audition. If accepted as a member of the company, the company fee is required to be paid by our first rehearsal. Youth Company Dancers are required to sign a contract along with their parents, as a commitment to this group and uphold the details in the contract.

Members of the youth company will be required to take three technique classes a week at Feet First; one of them being ballet, jazz or contemporary. We will have mandatory rehearsals weekly. Dancers are only permitted three excused Footage rehearsal absences throughout the year. Attendance is essential in training and working on choreography with all members present. If students miss more than the three excused absences, they will not be permitted to audition for the group the following year.

Rehearsals this year will be weekly for all company members

Fridays from 5:00-7:00PM for Senior members 

Fridays from 5:30-7:00PM for Junior members

Our Footage Dance Intensive is mandatory for ALL company members and will be held the final week of summer. Dates and times vary each year and are released to company members at the beginning of the summer. Dancers will experience strengthening and technical training throughout the week in addition to learning new choreography. Dancers must dress in all black dance attire, pack a snack and bring a water bottle.

Participation in this youth performance group is an amazing opportunity for those dancers who are looking for more!
