 AMERICAN DANCE AWARDS!

 This year the American Dance Awards will be March 5-7 in Portland at the Portland-Jantzen Beach Red Lion Hotel. We are in our 6th year attending this event! In the past this event has been both a 2 day event (Sat- Sun) and also just a 1 day (Saturday) event in the past. It depends on how many applicants apply.  If there are many studios going then it will be a two day event. If it is a two day event dancers averaging ages 13 and under will perform Saturday and dancers averaging ages 13 and older will perform Sunday. The event will announce their final schedule 2-3 weeks before the actual competition.

 Please leave this entire weekend open. We meet at the event. But if you need help connecting with someone to carpool/caravan I can help you facilitate that. If you do not plan on attending competition please let your company teacher now ASAP.

DANCE FACTORY COMPANY AUDITIONS!
For URBAN PULSE, URBAN VIBE, URBAN BEAT and THE PRESTIGE

Get to know us -- read our informational letter below:

Dear parents, guardians and dancers,
 
Thank you for your interest in The Dance Factory Performance Companies.  The Dance Factory Performance Companies are unique to Eugene as we offer young dancers technical training in either jazz and or hip-hop while building basic fundamental skills that can easily transfer into any genre of dance. We also provide an opportunity to perform in the community and to compete at regional dance competitions in the Portland Metro area.                                   
                                                                       

Here at The Dance Factory we are disciplined as teachers and as dancers. We look for dancers who are serious about dance and taking it to the next level. We love dance and want to share it with dancers who are eager to learn more and explore their full potential. Dance develops balance, control, posture, focus and fine-tunes listening skills. Because dance inherently involves problem solving, patterns and sequencing, it enhances higher thinking abilities. Quality training in dance and technique promotes self-confidence, creativity and a sense of exuberance in accomplishment.  The Dance Factory and its instructors are committed to developing all of these attributes in a nurturing environment.
