CFDC

Coastal Fusion Dance Company

We are a pre-professional dance company dedicated to nurturing passionate, driven dancers who are ready to take their training to the next level. Our company offers an elite, focused experience for dancers seeking intensive development and opportunities beyond the typical studio setting.

Throughout the season, our dancers will work closely with renowned guest choreographers and teachers from across the industry. These experiences are designed to expose our dancers to a variety of styles, approaches, and professional expectations — preparing them for careers in dance or higher-level training programs.

The Company

The Coastal Fusion Dance Company will be made up of a select group of up to 12 dancers chosen through audition for their skill, artistry, and commitment. These dancers represent the company in lyrical, contemporary, musical theatre, and hip-hop categories at competitions and performances. The 12 dancers selected for The Company will automatically participate in our Hip-Hop group.

The Hip-Hop company

Our Hip-Hop group brings high energy and fresh movement to every stage. We will accept up to 17 dancers, including all 12 members of the primary company group and an additional 5 dancers chosen specifically for their strength in hip-hop.

The hiphop group focuses solely on hip-hop and street styles, training under specialized faculty and choreographers. They will represent the company in competitive and community-based performances.
