company values
Company is so much more than just a fun dance troupe. They’re a team that shares common goals, desires, and values.
The 5 pillars of Company are: progression, performance, commitment, leadership, and collaboration.
Company dancers are ready to learn, challenge themselves, and receive constructive critique from Directors. They work hard in and out of studio to grow collectively and individually.
progression
Company dancers live for the spotlight, love to tell stories through movement, and want to perform as much as possible. They also strive to create space for others to shine, too.
performance
Company dancers are dedicated, reliable, and willing to put in the time and effort it takes for their team to succeed. They do their best to give everything they have to offer, every time.
commitment
Company dancers want to work together with other students, teachers, and directors to create meaningful art that allows everyone to shine. They know we’re not here to compete.
collaboration
Company dancers are excited to empower, mentor, and support other dancers in our community - especially beginners. Company dancers know they’re just as important and special as any other member of the Luminesque family.
leadership
EXAMPLES OF PAST COMPANY SHOWS
Every year, Company co-creates a showcase that combines student choreography with pieces by renowned choreographers.
