Muhlenberg Community Dance Center Performance Company

The MCDC performance company offers dedicated, serious dancers expanded and more rigorous performance opportunities that culminate in the annual Spring Concert. Dancers learn and perform in pieces choreographed by faculty and guest artists in a range of dance styles.

The MCDC Company meets on Thursday’s from 4:30 to 6:30. During this meeting time dancers will warm-up, learn, rehearse and perfect choreography.

MCDC Company is open to dancers ages 10 and older. Students must be registered for at least one dance technique class since company time is not a substitution for dance class, but rather an opportunity to develop deepened and enhanced performance skills.

Dancers will be asked to sign a company contract which outlines responsibilities and rules. The performance company fee covers costume and production expenses.

If you are interested in becoming part of Performance Company, please contact Tara Repsher at communitydance@hotmail.com

Classwork Showing

This is the same format as done in previous years. Teachers will work on performances pieces based on class material that will be presented in our Fall Performance Day and Spring Concert.  Costume pieces will be informal, coming from MCDC costume stock, inexpensive store bought or from the dancer’s personal wardrobe.  A minimal performance fee for class work showings has been worked into tuition prices.  Preparation for class work showings will be done during class time only.  There will be no extra rehearsals except for dress rehearsal and the show times.

Class Make-up

You may ONLY make up a class due to illness or injury. Make up classes may be taken in another weekly class of the same genre, or if that is not available you may also take a different genre but it must be at you current level of dance or approved by a director.  There is no need to call first to see if you can take a class but please let the teacher of the class you choose know that you are taking the class as a make-up. Unless you have a doctor’s note, all make-up classes must be taken within the same session of the classes that you missed.    

Inclement Weather Policy

In case of a snow emergency, class cancellations will be posted on the following website: www.wfmz.com
