Ready for more?
Oak Cliff Dance Co.
Audition-Based Performing Company
A stage-ready ensemble for dancers who want more time in the studio, more choreography in their bodies, and more moments in front of a crowd. If your dancer is hungry for the next step, this is it.
What It Is
A performing company, not a class
The Co. is our audition-based ensemble. Dancers are cast into pieces across ballet, contemporary, hip hop, and jazz, then rehearse and perform them across the season. Expect real feedback, real staging, and real stage time.
What We Ask
Commitment, on and off the floor
- Weekly company rehearsal, Sunday afternoons.
- At least one weekly technique class at the studio.
- Extra rehearsals in the two weeks before each show.
- Positive attitude, on-time arrivals, and clean company look.
Where You'll Perform
Stages around Dallas
Bishop Arts festivals, Oak Cliff Mardi Gras, State Fair showcases, community events at the Latino Cultural Center, our own spring production at the Kessler, and select competitions across North Texas.
Auditions
Come show us what you've got
Open call, no experience with the Co. required. Wear form-fitting practice clothes, jazz or ballet shoes, and hair pulled back.
