Just Dance! Petite Company

JUST DANCE! PETITE COMPANY

Learn all about the Just Dance! Petite Company Charleston Dance Center.

The Just Dance! petite company is selected through audition and has an average age of 10 years old. Petite company dancers are usually 8-12 years old, but a dancer’s age is just one factor that is considered for team placement. Height, ability, maturity, team composition and many other factors are also considered.

2023-24 Just Dance! Auditions – June 10, 2023

Competitive dance requires the highest level of commitment from both the dancer and the parent, so petite company dancers may have to choose dance as a priority over other extracurricular activities. Just Dance! company members are not allowed to enroll in dance classes at any other studio or participate in dance events outside of school and Charleston Dance Center without permission from Just Dance! Company directors.

Petite company dancers participate in at least one competition dance each year. Many petite company members are invited to participate in multiple large group and small group dances in addition to duos/trios and solos. Parents are welcome to set limits on the number of dances their child participates in. This decision needs to be made in the summer, before choreography begins.
