Our Training Philosophy
Reyha Dance Center’s Company truly embodies what it means to be a dance family. Our close-knit Company is made up of dancers ages 6-18 who are excited to grow both individually as dancers, and as a team. We offer varying levels of Company, from beginning to advanced/elite. Our Company dancers must audition or be personally invited by our Studio Director. Our teaching & training philosophy is unique. If you are interested in being a part of our Company, please read below to ensure that our culture would be a good fit for your dancer & their goals.
Technique: Reyha Dance Center values good technique & proper training. Regardless of whether or not a student wants to pursue dance as a career, training at a studio that prioritizes proper technique provides the best benefits for the dancer. Some of these benefits included decreased risk of injuries, an understanding of how to incorporate healthy living & fitness into daily life, development of strength & flexibility, and ease of movement. Dancers also receive a greater sense of accomplishment when working to master technique, develop a stronger sense of personal responsibility and work ethic, work more cohesively as a team, and have an easier time with choreography & combinations.
Classical Dance Training: At Reyha Dance Center, we prioritize classical dance training. This means that we believe in giving our students a foundation of good technique, rather than just teaching them trends or tricks. We don’t put the “cart before the horse” by teaching our dancers advanced skills prior to them developing a strong technical foundation. The advanced skills will come with time as our dancers progress through the levels of dance. We consider dance to be an art form, and train our dancers to be both artists & athletes. All of our Company dancers are required to train in ballet, as ballet provides dancers with the strongest technical foundation to be successful at many other dance styles. We also put a great emphasis on our dancers being well-rounded in their abilities by training across multiple dance styles. We take pride in developing multi-faceted, talented dancers that are accomplished in many different genres of dance.
Competitions: While our Company dancers do attend dance competitions, we do not consider ourselves a “competition dance studio,” where the emphasis is attending lots of competitions and winning at all costs. We see competitions as a way for dancers to get extra performance opportunities, bond with their teammates, get feedback from professional judges to aid in their personal growth, and be inspired by other dancers in our community. We take pride in our competition pieces being age-appropriate musically and choreographically, with tasteful costume choices.
Core Values: Our Company dancers are supported & encouraged in their dance journey, while simultaneously being held to a high standard of excellence. We expect dancers to demonstrate full effort, focus, dedication, and commitment to Company, and we impress upon our Company dancers that they are representatives of & a reflection of our studio, and as such, are held to a high standard of behavior that is aligned with Reyha Dance Center’s core values.
