The Empire Dance Company is an innovative and award winning dance training program designed to help direct students toward being better dancers, artists, and individuals. We provide practical experience by being the city's only pre-professional dance company to offer real world professional performance opportunities. This program is for those fiercely dedicated dancers, offering training (6+ hours per week), master classes, and audition/career preparation. These dancers perform, compete and train! Admission is granted through an audition process, emphasizing the importance of commitment.

Dancers train for all aspects of the industry from commercial to concert dance and members are encouraged to create and collaborate by inspiring one another to become stronger artists. In addition to weekly advanced level classes, company members receive unique training opportunities like on camera work, acting, voice, audition prep, resumes, headshots, demo reels and more. It is the mission of Empire Dance Co. to inspire and develop young artists to reach their fullest creative potential through training, collaboration and exploration.
