Footage Youth Dance Company

Our mission for this group is to provide young dancers with the opportunity to experience a professional dance atmosphere; while embodying the Feet First spirit directly to our community. These youth dancers will learn dedication, commitment, perseverance, motivation, and self-expression through dance. Led by company director and founder, Kelsey Brennan-Patrick and Co-Director Hannah Brumbach, Footage dancers will have the incredible opportunity to represent Feet First at various local and regional events.

These dancers work very hard diving into creating unique pieces that explore concepts of life. When they work on these dances it is a process that everyone enjoys. This is an opportunity for dancers to explore another side of dance. Kelsey and Hannah dedicate their time working with these dancers, getting them to understand the importance of self-expression through dance, and really diving into the essence of performing.

Every year our dancers perform in our annual Footage Showcase where our dancers display all of the company’s works from the year, but also have an opportunity to showcase some of their own choreography. Hannah and Kelsey allow these dancers to audition their own pieces into the showcase; encouraging dancers to work together in groups. This showcase is performed outside on our portable dance floor. It is a joy to see our students working together and diving into their own talents as dancers and choreographers.
