12 seasons ago, TCDC introduced a Touring Program — one of the first of its kind — built for dancers who valued training, growth, and experiences beyond the competition stage.

After a brief pause, Touring Company is returning to TCDC and will once again be available to our Professional Training Program dancers. Through conventions, guest choreographers, touring pieces, and new learning experiences, this program is designed to push dancers to the next level in their training.

The program includes:
• minimum 3 conventions per season
• guest choreographers & industry artists
• specialized touring pieces
• dancers committed to growing, training, and pushing each other forward

We are ready and excited to grow the next generation of artists✨🩵

What an incredible week we had at 🩵

Dancers, we could not be prouder of the work you did both on and off the stage this week. Every performance pushed for more than the last — hungry, determined, and fighting for growth every single time. Your hard work this season truly shone through.

Off stage, you were encouraging, kind, supportive, and helpful to one another — and that is what our TCDC family is all about. Raising not only incredible young artists, but incredible humans.

A special shoutout to our smart, reliable senior dancers who stepped up, pivoted, and learned new choreography on the fly so other groups could perform with complete numbers. Those are the kinds of lessons and leadership qualities that will stay with you for life.

(Not pictured: our Teen & Senior dancers, who also had an incredible week filled with amazing performances and results!)

Thank you to the amazing staff at for always putting on such a professional, organized, and well-run event. We love our week with you every season and can’t wait to see you again at Provincials! 🩵

Hannah’s dedication and perseverance have truly paid off, and we are beyond proud of her for reaching this incredible milestone.

A massive thank you to her teachers Kelly Douglas and Shannon Stewardson, as well as Anabel Ho, and Janet Gittens for their additional coaching in helping prepare this beauty for her exam.

Congratulations Hannah, your TCDC family couldn’t be prouder🩵🖤
