Curtain Up! Company
Our Story
Our audition in company was founded in 2002 as a triple threat performing arts group. Ranging from ages 8-18, Curtain Up! members are required to sing, act, and be proficient in dance technique. We promote that they excel in school and participate in local community events, while valuing family, each other, and themselves. They know the meaning of hard work and discipline, dedicating themselves to something that promotes respect, integrity, creativity, time management, and physical and mental health.
On Center’s company is comprised of passionate and dedicated dancers who want to go beyond dancing recreationally. Company members excel in technique and performance quality while also being leaders of the studio.
During auditions, dancers will be selected to join either Level 1 or Level 2 based on technical execution. You may also select on your audition form if you only want to be considered for Level 1.
Level 1
Beginner to intermediate dancers who have competed for fewer than 3 years. These groups will learn 1 routine that they compete at 1 local competition (Coeur d’ Alene, Spokane, or Bozeman). This option is fantastic for our newer and less experienced dancers or for those who want less of a time/financial commitment.
