Minis Crew
Ages 6 - 8
Minis Crew is a non-competitive introduction to Club TDC for younger dancers ready for a bit more structure and performance experience.
Dancers train in jazz or hip hop while building confidence, teamwork, and a love of performing in an age-appropriate, supportive environment.
Commercial Track
Ages 8–18
The Commercial Track focuses on high-energy, performance-driven dance inspired by the professional entertainment industry. Styles include hip hop, jazz, tap, and contemporary often set to popular music and emphasizing precision, musicality, and stage presence. These crews perform as teams and are designed to balance strong training with busy academic and extracurricular schedules, making them an accessible and exciting entry point into performance at TDC.
Concert Track
Ages 8–18
The Concert Track centers on artistic expression, storytelling, and deeper technical and artistic development. This non-competitive program includes ballet ensembles, contemporary ensemble, and Core Creative, drawing from classical ballet, modern, contemporary, jazz. Rather than focusing on entertainment-based performance, concert dance emphasizes creativity, intention, and using movement as a meaningful form of communication. Dancers explore themes, artistry, and musical nuance while developing strong technique and expressive depth.
We're Paving a New Path
The Concert Track
For the dancer who knows competition isn’t the finish line.
Whether you’re a high school dancer preparing for a college dance major or minor, or readying yourself for professional auditions — this is the training that bridges the gap.
Our unique Core Creative curriculum is structured around exactly what professional contemporary and ballet companies demand:
• Partner work — real, weight-sharing, trust-based partnering
• Improvisation — the creative intelligence every company looks for
• Ballet, modern & contemporary technique — not as an afterthought, but as a foundation
• Collaborative choreography — you don’t just perform the work, you help shape it
This is artistry. Not just execution.
Our Core Creative dancers perform in and attend dance festivals, observe professional companies, and take master classes with working artists. By the time you audition for the college or professional spaces, you’ve already lived in that world.
