student company

Company membership, for dancers ages 8-18, offers an array of performing opportunities showcasing the excellence in training our students receive.

The Student Company at Northern Plains Dance (NPD) aims to amplify and celebrate students’ commitment to their dance training and performance quality. As such, Student Company members are invited to make a commitment to the school year and performance season (August-May) to receive exclusive discounts and benefits.  Student Company members are expected to train year-round and perform in NPD productions. They will also serve as NPD ambassadors both inside and outside the studio, acting as role models for younger dancers, performing at community events, and actively participating in fundraising efforts. Student Company members will work closely with the faculty to achieve their individual goals in dance.
