Competition Team
Dance Academy USA Competition Team
Dance Academy USA Production Company (DAUPC) is a nationally-ranked competition team consisting of talented, hard-working, and enthusiastic dancers ages 5-18. DAUPC has 31 different teams that compete in Jazz, Tap, Lyrical/Contemporary, and Hip Hop. Participation on this team is an amazing opportunity and privilege. We strive to give our students the most professional competition experience, and we are proud of all our wonderful DAUPC students, parents, and teachers.
Philosophy
The goal of this DAU Program is to offer advanced training through a competitive performance environment. DAUPC was created for extremely dedicated students who wish to broaden their knowledge of dance while building self-esteem through hard work, discipline, and teamwork. Our DAUPC members have pursued impressive collegiate and professional dance careers (both dance and non-dance related). The confidence, poise, self-discipline, and friendships that dancers develop in DAUPC contribute to lifelong success.
Commitment
Being a part of DAUPC involves a high level of commitment and dedication. This requires time outside of weekly technique and competition classes. Students should view DAUPC as their highest priority extracurricular activity. Any event that is termed “required” or “mandatory” is just that. Members attend approximately five competitive weekends, as well as numerous other PC weekend events and activities.
Mandatory choreography sessions take place outside of regular class time.
