Sunshine Dance Company
OUR AWARD-WINNING COMPETITIVE DANCE TEAM
Dance is an art form. It is a way to express yourself, and share emotion with others. Sunshine Dance Company members are given the opportunity to not only experience the artistry of dance but to combine this with intense technical training. In present day dance competitions we often see that dance has evolved into a competitive sport that is solely focused on tricks rather than technique and artistry. At the Sunshine Dance Company, we strive to combine all of these elements together. We value our fun and joyous “Sunshine” spirit, but we also make our commitment to dance a priority in order to gain the quality technique that helps our dancer's succeed. Thus, our Sunshine Dance Company mantra:
“Combining artistry, passion, and joy with the commitment and focus of competitive sports.”
Participants on our team will experience the benefits one learns from training in the arts while also experiencing the camaraderie of participating in a team sport.
Company members audition each year in early June. Throughout the year Company members take weekly technique classes, rehearse, and perform at a variety of competitions/conventions and community events. If you would like more information about the Sunshine Dance Company please contact the Owner of Sunshine Dance, Jared Titus, directly at jared.sunshinedance@gmail.com.

How do I join the Sunshine Dance Company?
Does your student love to dance? Are they interested in making a stronger commitment to dance that unifies intense training with artistry and the camaraderie of a team sport? Then the Sunshine Dance Company may be right for you! See below for some steps about how you can get started!
1.) Join our mailing list! If you have not already, please scroll to the bottom of this page and subscribe to our mailing list. This will ensure that when important audition dates and meetings are set, you receive email notifications from us! The SDC Audition Process begins in April/May each year for the coming season, so don't worry if you don't hear from us before then :)
2.) Attend a mandatory SDC Parent Info Meeting! Being a member of the Sunshine Dance Company is a HUGE commitment for both students and parents. Company members are required to take a number of weekly dance classes, attend rehearsals, and participate in other events throughout the year. To make sure that our families understand all these commitments, we require at least one parent of each student who will be auditioning for the team (both returning and new students) to attend a meeting with us so that we can lay all of this out clearly for you and answer any questions you may have before auditions.
This year, our SDC Parent Info Meetings have been set for Saturday, May 6th! Please plan on attending the meeting for whichever division (or divisions) your student is considering auditioning for. Please see above for a description of how the divisions are divided and what students are eligible for which division(s). Please note that attending this meeting does not commit you to anything other than learning a little bit more about our team!
