Ensemble
WEAD Ensemble Program
Mission Statement
The WEAD Ensemble Program is a performance group cultivated by the West End Academy of Dance whose ultimate goal is to provide additional performance opportunities and experiences to dancers who demonstrate passion and dedication to their dancing. Ensemble company members are taught the tools it takes to become professional dancers in the real world while being nurtured and supported in a non-competitive and safe environment. The WEAD Ensemble Program allows more serious-minded dancers the chance to practice performing and functioning as a company, whether they plan to build a career in dance or just participate for their love of the art form. It is an opportunity to build relationships and grow into happy, healthy young dancers who, upon graduating, are prepared for the next step in their journey.
Ensemble Structure and Class Requirements
Ensemble is one unified youth dance company. Dancers will have the opportunity to participate in a variety of genres of choreography based on what classes they take at WEAD. Genres include ballet, jazz, contemporary, musical theater, and hip hop.

As an Ensemble company member, you are required to take a minimum number of technique classes during the week.
