EDA’s Company Class

EDA Leadership Program

Grades 6-12

Company class is an advanced training program where dedicated dancers refine their skills, develop leadership and choreography abilities, and grow as part of a supportive team.

Highlights from our Taylor Swift Party! Company organized and planned this event for the community!

4Different Paths

Our Company Pathways guide dancers from building strong technique to growing as leaders. As they progress, they assist, lead, teach, and get involved in community and NHSDA opportunities, developing confidence and skills that extend beyond the studio. You choose the best path for yourself! We will be discussing the options during Company Camp.
