Overview
TDF DANCE COMPANY
The Dance Factory Competition Team Program gives our dancers the opportunity to express themselves through their art with exemplary technique and innovative choreography. We train our students not to be just dancers, but to be Artists.
Our company program is intensive, creative and very disciplined. We partake in regional and national dance competitions and conventions where our students continually excel. We take pride in encouraging a supportive and motivating atmosphere amongst our students. The studio is a home away from home for our dancers and a place where lifelong friendships are made.
Being apart of the TDF Dance Company is like being a part of a big family. Competition Team is a wonderful opportunity to develop a skill, build self esteem and learn to work well with others. It is our goal that each and every member of our team reach their fullest potential.
