Young Xpressions

Young Dance Company

 

Young Xpressions is our latest addition to the Dance Company Family! Formed in 2010, Young Xpressions is directed by Miss Theresa Baumgardner-Prochaska and is made up of a small group of dedicated dance students ages 8 and up. The Young Xpressions students have been individually selected by the Directrice and Young Xpressions Director, Miss Theresa Baumgardner-Prochaska. 

 

Each Young Xpressions student is assigned a "Big Sister" Junior Company member.  This Big Sister is available to share experiences, help answer questions, and act as mentor and support for her Little Sister. 

 

The Young Xpressions perform at a variety of area venues including Christmas performances at Boyd's Bears and the Westminster Ag Center. 

Young Dance Company Requirements

Young Xpressions members are required to take a once a week Ballet Tech class with the Directrice and participate in  1 1/2 hour weekly Young rehearsals and all performances.  Young Xpression members must maintain appropriate grade averages in school and must always demonstrate an attitude and behavior consistent with the values of the Taneytown Dance Center.

 

In order to be considered for the Young Xpressions, a student must be personally selected for an open position by the Directrice and Miss Theresa, Young Xpressions Director.  Students must have demonstrated a specific amount of ballet experience with the Directrice, must be at least 8 years old, and must possess the necessary years of dance training. 

 

ALL Young Xpressions members must serve a minimum of 2 years as an official member of the Young Company before being considered for a position with the Junior Company. However, being a member of Young Xpressions does not guarantee a place in Junior Company.
