DAUPC – 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 over 30 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. Dancers audition every year in April or May, regardless if they were on a team the year before. At auditions, they are informed of the kind of commitment we expect from them. Our PC dancers commit to at least 4 hours a week of technique (many of them taking up to 12 or 13) and Production Company classes. They attend 4-7 competitions and two conventions a year.
If you are interested in auditioning for DAUPC, please check with the office for the next audition date as well as all of our audition requirements.
These classes are for Production Company (DAUPC) students. To register for one of these classes, you must call the office at 408-257-3211.
