Special Guests: Ellie Soto & Kassidy Bright

We're thrilled to welcome Ellie Soto and Kassidy Bright as our featured guest artists for this year’s Company Auditions. Both are powerhouse professionals with extensive experience across stage, screen, and the commercial dance industry.

As part of their visit, Ellie and Kassidy will serve as guest judges and panelists, offering dancers valuable critiques, industry insight, and personalized feedback throughout the audition process. In addition to judging, each artist will be leading exclusive master classes, sharing their unique styles and teaching philosophies.

We are also working to coordinate original choreography and material from Ellie and Kassidy for select company routines in the upcoming season—providing our dancers with the chance to perform work from some of the most inspiring choreographers in the industry today.

This is a rare opportunity to train with and learn from two artists whose work spans global tours, top-tier conventions, television, and music videos. Dancers will walk away with not only enhanced technique but also real-world knowledge about navigating today’s professional dance world.

A company team at The Studance Lab is a unique opportunity where dancers perform or compete outside of our bi-annual recitals.

We offer two types of company teams, embracing both stage and street dance styles; performance teams and competitive teams.

The intent of a performance team is to have fun and develop as a strong dancer and performer, while building a close nit community of dance friends! This team operates as a training team and will learn choreography to perform at community events. The style of dance will alternate from semester 1 to semester 2. i.e- If semester 1 is a Jazz style routine, then semester 2 will be a Hip Hop style routine. You can participate in the full year or pick one season. Must be enrolled in 2 training classes corresponding to the performance dance style of that semester.

The intent for competitive teams is to train and become pre-professional dancers and performers. Dancer’s must audition, and be selected, into these teams. This team will operate as a competitive team and will learn choreography to compete at local and out of state competitions. This team will not perform in community events. This team gives you access to career planning and development. Must have G.R.I.T, confidence on stage and in group setting, self-motivated and well spoken. *Required class training schedule. Required competition and conventions that require additional costs.

Performance teams are available to dancers between the ages 5-18.

Auditions are required for our dancers who want to be a part of a competitive team. You do not need to audition to be a part of our performance team.

Outside of your regular class tuition, a one-time fee is applied and includes everything your dancer will need for the semester/season. Below is an example of the cost breakdown, subject to change.

  • Performance teams Semester 1: Approx. $600; Includes Dance Camp, performance costume, team jacket, 5 performance opportunities.

  • Competitive Teams Annual Fee: Approx. $4500; Includes group competition entry fees, Convention fees, dance camp, costume(s), team gear.

There is a weekly training schedule required for each team. See below for an example schedule.

  • Performance Teams: 2 training classes (correlating to the style of performance that semester) plus team class. Total 3 hours a week.

Competitive teams: 6 training classes per style plus team class. Total 7 hours per team. In addition to the weekly training:

  • Performance Teams, Semester 1: The exact schedule will be provided upon commitment to the team. Plan to 6 weekends booked between July-December for performances and dance camp.

  • Performance Teams, Semester 2: The exact schedule will be provided upon commitment to the team. Plan to 4 weekends booked between July-December for performances and dance camp.

  • Competitive Teams: The exact schedule will be provided upon commitment to the team. Plan to be flexible with weekend availability as competition schedules are provided with short notice.

Auditions will follow a traditional, in-person format this year. Dancers will learn choreography on-site in an audition setting and perform it in front of a panel of judges. The process includes a warm-up, across-the-floor exercises, and a short combination tailored to each age group. Dancers may also be asked to demonstrate technique or improvisation. No pre-learned or recorded material will be sent in advance.

  • You want to dress to impress, but something you can DANCE in!
  • All dances will be fusion style.
  • For our Stage call backs, we recommend form fitting clothing, jazz shoes or bare feet, with your hair up and out of your face- you will be on stage so make up is highly recommended.
