How to Join Our Troupe Teams at Centenary Dance Academy

Our Performance Troupes at Centenary Dance Academy provide dancers with an exciting opportunity to refine their skills, take their training to the next level, and experience the thrill of performing at eisteddfods, community events, and our annual concert. These teams are designed to challenge and inspire dancers while fostering teamwork, discipline, and stage confidence.

How Do You Join a CDA Troupe?

Troupe positions are invitation-only and extended to students who demonstrate:
✔ Dedication and commitment to their dance training
✔ Strong technical ability and performance skills
✔ A positive attitude and teamwork
✔ Consistent attendance in their regular classes

Teachers continuously assess students throughout the year and invite those who meet these criteria to join a troupe for the following season.

What’s Expected of a Troupe Dancer?

Being a part of a troupe requires a high level of commitment. Troupe dancers must:
✅ Attend all rehearsals and arrive prepared to work hard
✅ Maintain positive behaviour both inside and outside of the studio
✅ Commit to scheduled eisteddfods, workshops, and performances

✅ Train consistently in a jazz or Ballet class (compulsory) to build a strong technical foundation

✅ Take ballet (highly recommended) to improve technique, strength, and artistry

Eisteddfods & Performances

Each year, our troupes compete at multiple eisteddfods and perform at community events, providing valuable stage experience and the chance to grow as performers.

Annual Troupe Fees & Costs

In addition to regular class fees, troupe dancers will have an annual levy to cover costs such as:

• Eisteddfod entry fees
• Extra rehearsals and workshops
• Costumes and team jackets

We are incredibly proud of our troupe dancers and the dedication they bring to their training. If your child has been invited to join a troupe, we can’t wait to see them shine on stage with their team!
