EDGE CO is Creative Edge Dance Center's competition + pre professional dance companies. It offers an experience for dancers at all stages in their dance journey — from the beginner just starting to test the waters of competition and performance life, the intermediate level dancer that has a passion for stage time and a competitive, hard working nature, to the more advanced level dancer who is looking for further guidance and training in a pre-professional world of the art form.
Edge Competition Company is trained by our on-staff instructors, whose goals are to pull the best out of each dancer and get them to the next level in their performance skills + confidence as well as their technical abilities. Each prospective dancer will audition each year for placement on the team. The members participate in local performance opportunities, extensive training from our in-house and guest instructors, and regional and national competition exposure. Edge Co dancers are ambassadors of CEDC and thus must stay positive, be prepared, and be courteous and professional in and out of the studio to others (dancers, students, parents, instructors, etc.). Specific class enrollment and rehearsal commitments are required for team consideration.
Edge Pre Pro Company program focuses on giving each dancer an individual and unique training track. This company is hand selected by the directors, and will not hold separate auditions to determine placement. In addition to the Edge Co competitive outlet, dancers are given a more intense training experience, but still includes local performance opportunities, as well as regional and national performance and training opportunities. The individualized track training program is implemented by the CEDC staff, who will work with each individual member to help them achieve their personal goals in the dance world, from becoming a professional performer, attending a specific dance school, to auditioning for performance and collegiate or professional opportunities, and choreography composition experience. CEDC will provide the growth, guidance and training direction they need to succeed.
