What is “The Company”?

“The Company” is Tessmer School of Dance’s elite competitive dance program, created for dancers who are ready to take their skills, artistry, and commitment to the next level. Designed for serious dancers, “The Company” provides rigorous, high-energy training in multiple genres, including contemporary, lyrical, hip hop, jazz, ballet, pointe, and modern. Dancers train multiple days per week, building strength, stamina, and technique while learning to perform with precision, emotion, and confidence.

The program emphasizes not just technical excellence, but creative growth. Dancers are encouraged to explore choreography, express their own artistic voice, and develop the ability to create movement from their own ideas—skills that extend beyond the studio and into all areas of life. The Company teaches focus, discipline, teamwork, and resilience, preparing dancers to face challenges both on stage and off.

As a traveling competitive team, “The Company” allows dancers to represent Tessmer School of Dance at regional and national competitions, experiencing the thrill of performing at a high level while building lifelong friendships with like-minded artists. Every rehearsal, every class, and every performance is designed to push dancers to excel, instilling a love for dance that will stay with them long after their studio years.

“The Company” is more than a team—it’s a community where dedication meets creativity, hard work meets joy, and dancers learn to carry the lessons of the studio into their lives, inspiring confidence, leadership, and passion in everything they do.
