School Performances
Every April, Teen Jazz Company and Junior Company tour local Vermont schools. With an emphasis on Elementary and MiddleSchools, our performances are often the first time students are exposed to dance. In addition to watching the fabulous dancers, the audience is mentally engaged by our presenters. Presenters, typically one of the Company Co-Directors, open the performance and engage the audience between dances, introducing each piece. The introductions includes information about the styles of dance, the choreographers, the dancers, and fun stories about the rehearsal process. Depending on the age and size of the audience, the presenter may also encourage the students to explore movement for themselves.
Teen Jazz Directors reserve the right to determine which Company - Teen Jazz or Junior Company - is the best fit for your performance. Both companies work at a professional level of conduct and provide equally valuable performance experiences. For select performances, both Companies will perform. Our fees are the same no matter which Company performs.
Does your school have a wide age range with a lot of students? We can do two performances back-to-back. Sample schedule: 9:30 am, 45min show for PreK - 4th grade. 10:30am, 45min show for 5th - 8th grade.
Our fees are on a per-school basis, not a per-performance basis.
