Ensemble members are the most advanced dancers here at MCPA. With an unending passion for dance, 110% commitment, and plenty of hard work, the Ensemble members have already created a name for themselves in the dance world.
Most Ensemble members will pursue a dance related field once they graduate from high school, and are eligible to receive cash scholarships from MCPA upon graduation! We have awarded $5500.00 in cash in the last 4 years - what can we do for you?
Whether your passion is choreography, teaching, or performing in either classical ballet or contemporary styles, the MCPA Dance Ensemble is for you. As an Ensemble member, you will have the opportunity to work with the top chorographers in the USA on a regular basis. Travel, performance opportunies, and educational experiences are available all through the year. The progress you will see will astound you, as you set and reach goals you never dreamed of before.
If you are age 15 or older, willing to work hard and commit to an amazing group of talented dancers, and ready for a challenge then come join us!
