Basic Guidelines
Those selected to be Dance League company members are an elite group of
dancers. All Company Members will not only be training with our amazing
Dance League faculty, you will also be a part of our team. Company
members will see how a tour works and establish important contacts in the
dance world that will serve you the duration of your career. You will enrich
your training on all levels while getting hands-on experience in industryrelated skills. We have the highest expectations for you and expect each
dancer to excel in your position as a company member. Below are some of
each company member’s requirements and responsibilities.
1 Dance League company members must be at least 12 years old. Dance
League “Lil’ Leaguers” must be at least 9 years old.
2 Must attend 2 cities yearly.
3 Required to take company classes and assist at conventions under the
discretion of the Dance League faculty.
4 Required company fee and purchase of Dance League warm-up suit.
5 Will perform at Dance League conventions, Summer Championship, and
other special events.
6 Choreography will be sent out in video form for each dancer to download
and learn. Some will be set in sessions throughout the season with
industry professionals/faculty members.
7 Rehearsals will be held in each city during the Dance League tour. Times
and other information will be posted on the website or on the company
Facebook Page.
8 Work with Dance League staff during registration and competition.

you are there to improve your dance training and set an example for
other dancers.
