BALLET INTENSIVE 8/22-25
Ballet is known to be the foundation of all dance forms. Having a strong base in ballet will help with other styles, especially in jazz, lyrical, and contemporary. The ballet intensive is the perfect time for dancers to reinforce and strengthen their technique. They will start with a Pilates/Dance Conditioning warm up followed by a full ballet technique class working on alignment, flexibility, articulation of the feet, strength, and poise.

DANCE TEAM BOOTCAMP 8/27-28
This bootcamp-style intensive is perfect for dancers looking to join a competitive collegiate dance team, become an NBA, NFL, or NHL cheerleader, or simply try a new style, improve stamina, and build strong technique. It will focus on stretching and strengthening, across the floor work (featuring kicks, turns, and leaps), center work (featuring turns and jumps), and fun Pom, Jazz, and Contemporary combinations to energetic, popular music. Dancers will also be given the opportunity to get an inside look at the audition process for both collegiate dance teams and professional sports cheer teams, as well as learn tips and tricks to being "Game Day Ready."

The Answers You Need
DANCE SEASON
The Dance Company of Los Gatos runs on an 10-month program from September to June. The monthly tuition rates listed, for 2019-2020, reflect the total number of classes attended per week by all members of a single family, averaged over the ten-month period. Monthly tuition is ALWAYS the same (from September through June) regardless of the number of classes in the month.
RECITAL
Every dance year we have an end of the year recital. All dancers/classes will participate in a recital show and possibly more. Recital is optional; however 99% of our dancers do participate and love this opportunity to perform with their classmates on stage! Costumes are ordered in February and will be delivered to the studio in the spring. All classes are "locked" in February to prepare for recital shows.

OBSERVATION DAY
TDC has a Closed Door Policy at all classes. It is our experience that students are better focused without the distraction of parents, siblings, and friends.
Observers and parents may watch the 1st week of every month through our lobby viewing windows, as long as it does not disrupt the students or the teacher. Only teachers and students are allowed in the studio classroom; no parents or visitors please.
