X-TENSION DANCE COMPANY
OBJECTIVE: X-Tension Dance Company is an intensive, performance-based company geared toward training those who aspire to dance professionally, be accepted into a college dance program, teach dance, or simply for those who love dance, enjoy discipline and hard work and want to be pushed to reach their full potential while gaining strong bonds with dance friends. Community outreach performances as well as dance concerts, field trips, and other activities to further educate in the art of dance are part of the company’s agenda.
DIVISIONS: X1 & X2
Offering 2 divisions allows us to accept more dancers into the company, while maintaining the intensity and integrity of the program.
X-Tension 1 (X1) is open to dancers in 7th - 12th grade who demonstrate a high level of skills determined through the audition process. They have a more intensive rehearsal and class schedule than X-Tension 2 and have more performance opportunities.
X-Tension 2 (X2) is open to dancers in grades 5 -12. Their rehearsal schedule is a little less intense than X1. Being in X2 is a great start to the dance company experience and includes additional performing opportunities.

Director’s Note: Thank you for your interest in X-Tension Dance Company! While dance is certainly something that everyone can enjoy and benefit from, this company is not for everyone. We are looking for students who have a true passion for dance and feel it is an important priority in their life. X-Tension dancers enjoy discipline, pushing themselves, and being pushed. They don't give up even when things seem impossible. They continue to try one more time even when they are exhausted. They always support other members who are feeling frustrated or down! They put dance before any other extracurricular activity. They may even aspire to dance in college or work professionally. They enjoy being part of a team, working hard for the same goals and using their gifts to bring happiness to others. X-Tension dancers gain strength, confidence, organizational skills, problem solving skills, new friendships, and so much more, not to mention becoming better dancers and performers.
