Performance Opportunities
In addition to weekly classes, AVA Dance Company offers a variety of Performance Opportunities throughout the year! These programs provide dancers with unique opportunities to perform on stage, on the field, on the court, in front of the Washington DC community or in front of a professional videographer.
For each Performance Opportunity, you will spend several weeks rehearsing with the same group of dancers to learn choreography and bond with your newly formed team!
​
Performance dates and rehearsal times will vary depending on availability. Follow us on Instagram, (@avadanceco) or subscribe to our newsletter for announcements regarding new performance opportunities!

Our annual Showcase is an 8 week program. During rehearsals, dancers will learn multiple routines in a variety of styles to perform for a live audience. In addition to learning choreography from our professional instructors, you'll bond with a special community of fellow Showcase dancers!
