Dance & Company

Create. Dance. Live.

We offer serious classical and contemporary training from youth to adult in a positive and progressive program of study. Performance opportunities are provided through annual spring concert performances, informal showings and student participation in the dance center's repertory youth performance companies. Classes are offered year-round in ballet, modern, tap, jazz, musical stage, hip-hop, and Irish step dance.

Shenandoah Contemporary Dance Theatre

Dance & Company's resident repertory performing company, offers students performance opportunities and pre-professional training. Members are selected by way of open audition. The SCDT has been selected in such prestigious venues as Kid's Cafe (NYC), Brooklyn Arts Exchange (NYC) and The New Dance Festival (VA). SCDT often hosts the Shenandoah Teen Collaborative Festival in the Spring. The SCDT is currently inactive, but may re-open to dancers in the future dependent on interest.
