Persephonie’s dancers have been successful in the competitive arena since she first began choreographing in 2011. Since then, her pieces have received numerous choreography and high point awards. Thrive’s talented company members have been recipients of various first place awards including overall highest score of the competition, scholarships, and invitations to nationals from regional and local competitions including two perfect score awards in 2019 and 2021. In only their second year, Thrive was awarded the ADCC Studio of Excellence Award by Turn It Up Dance Challenge. Thrive’s company members have continued to exemplify excellence in their art and were awarded this prestigious title and various studio awards every year.
Thrive’s intensive dance company consists of well-rounded and serious dancers who make dance their priority.
Requirements Include:
- Two weekly ballet classes, participation in “The Nutcracker”, one technique class, one modern class, one hip-hop OR tap class and one class within any genre in which you compete. Tap and hip-hop are both recommended to expand each dancer’s repertoire in ways that contemporary alone does not.
- Commitment to three mandatory dance competitions and three mandatory conventions.
- Commitment to at least one full session of summer intensive
We realize that some dancers want to participate in dance competitions just for fun. The apprentice dance company allows dancers to compete at a casual and low-demand level.
Requirements Include:
- One ballet class and one class within any genre in which you compete.
- Commitment to three mandatory dance competitions.
- At least one ballet class in our summer program. A full session of summer intensive will also suffice (highly recommend).
