Company Program
(Ages 8+)
At the Landing Dance Centre, we take pride in fostering a community of dedicated and versatile dancers. Our company members exemplify the commitment and skill required to excel in the world of dance and beyond. Our expectations for our dancers reflect our dedication to their growth and artistic development
Our Company program consists of 3 main pillars: Examinations, Technique & Conditioning, and Choreography & Artistic Expression
01
Pillar 1: Examinations (ISTD and RAD)
Our company dancers participate in the ISTD or RAD Ballet syllabus, taking weekly classes and actively working towards a yearly exam. These examinations not only ensure that dancers master the foundational skills and techniques required for their respective dance styles but also make them eligible to receive Fine Arts Credits for graded exams, as recognized by the B.C. Ministry of Education, contributing to their secondary school graduation.
02
Pillar 2: Technique & conditioning
Our technique and conditioning pillar is dedicated to honing dancers' technical skills, flexibility, strength, and overall physical conditioning. We provide a comprehensive curriculum that includes classes in Jazz, Contemporary, Commercial, Hip Hop, Tap, and Acro. These diverse offerings help our dancers develop a well-rounded skill set, enhancing their capabilities in various dance styles. By focusing on these foundational elements, we ensure our dancers are well-prepared to excel in the broad spectrum of dance disciplines they encounter in their journey.
03
Pillar 3: Choreography & Artistic expression
Company dancers engage in separate choreographic sessions with guest choreographers and instructors, distinct from their regular weekly technique classes. These sessions provide a dedicated space for exploring creative expression, fostering collaboration with industry professionals, and crafting original pieces that reflect their artistic growth. Company choreography is featured in our annual pre-performance season showcase ‘LAUNCH,’ and year end finale performance ‘Dance Vancouver.’ Company dancers attend 3-4 competitions, as well as 1-2 conventions each season, both locally and internationally.
Spotlight Program
(Ages 8+)
Our competitive is designed for dancers seeking competitive dance opportunities without the extensive time commitment required by our Company Program. This program offers our dancers a customized and immersive dance experience, allowing them the flexibility to explore their passions in jazz, acro, tap, or hip hop with a specialized focus. With a strong emphasis on both technical excellence and artistic expression, our dancers take one technique and one choreography class weekly in the genre of their choosing. Focusing on more than one discipline is encouraged, yet not required.
Spotlight dancers participate in 3 competitions a season, and participate in three annual performances, “Winter Wonderland,” "LAUNCH," and "Dance Vancouver." As an added bonus, dancers can opt to attend conventions, providing invaluable opportunities for advancing their training, personal growth, and artistic development.
STARS! Program
(Ages 5-7)
Our Stars! Program is a by-invitation program, tailored for young dancers who are excited to take their love for dance to the next level. This program is a great starting point for those ready to commit more to their art. Stars! dancers focus on ballet, tap, and jazz, building a strong foundation. They perform in 2-3 competitions each year, showcasing their skills and passion. They also shine in three yearly shows, “Winter Wonderland,” "LAUNCH" and "Dance Vancouver." For those looking to try something new, Stars! dancers can also explore acro or modern dance. This enriches their dance journey, improves their training, and nurtures their growing talent. It's the perfect platform for our young stars to enjoy and grow as performers.

Launch
"LAUNCH" is our most anticipated show of the season, and it's more than just a performance—it's about teamwork, confidence, and professionalism. In February, our Company, Spotlight, and STARS! groups, as well as our solo/duo/trio performers, grace the stage. Here, our dancers grow in unity, gain confidence, and polish their professionalism. They receive invaluable feedback that guides them in making final adjustments and refinements in preparation for upcoming dance competitions. We believe "LAUNCH" is a journey that fosters teamwork, confidence, and professionalism, eagerly anticipated by our enthusiastic audience.
