Performance Crew 2026-2027 Season
What is Performance Crew?
Performance Crew is a non-competitive, audition-based dance Crew that was established by Dance & Company in 2012. Dancers range in age from 10-17 years old and are trained across many styles here at Dance & Company. Dancers meet once a week for rehearsal and perform at events all around San Diego such as sporting events, community events, and local high school events. We wanted to create a safe place for dancers to have more performing opportunities in a non-competitive environment. Interested in auditioning? Email Katie@danceandcompany.net.
