The LPA Company is the performing group of LaBelle Performing Arts. Company dancers are chosen through audition and must show maturity, motivation, and dedication to the art. Our dancers are expected to strive for excellence in every performance. For that reason, we train for and participate in local, regional, and national dance competitions and workshops.
Our goal is the perfection of our dancers’ art and their character.
Our mission is to provide superior dance training while encouraging and positively impacting our students.
Our passion is the art of movement.
LaBelle Performing Arts Company (LPA Company) will:
- Compete at regional and national competitions each year. These competitions will help develop performance abilities and push members to strive for technical perfection.
- Participate in workshops throughout the year. The workshops will help members improve their technique while teaching them the latest innovative choreography. The Company will have the opportunity to meet and take classes from some of the leading choreographers and dancers in the industry and work with them one on one.
- Some of our older dancers will get the opportunity to travel to large cities, such as LA and/or New York, to train and perform, and work with some of the industry’s top choreographers. Some may also have the opportunity to perform in shows as guest artists for fundraising events in Reno, New Orleans, and Pensacola.
- Perform at many community events and participate in local parades. Parades give dancers the opportunity to perform for a surrounding crowd, which is very different from stage performances. This type of performances enhance a dancer’s performance abilities while developing their retention for choreography, coordination, and strengthening focus in a chaotic environment.
- Many of the dancers will participate in film projects that will introduce these young performers to the film industry. They will also have the opportunity to work with a professional photographer to allow experience in print work.
Being a member of the LPA Company requires dedication and hard work. Company members will learn to develop technique and enhance their talent while learning from successes and failures, along with many other important lessons in life. The LPA Company is an amazing experience a dancer will remember their entire life.
