The CCD Performing Company (CCDPC) is a passionate group of dancers ranging from ages 6 to 18, united by their love for dance. Company dancers devote themselves to comprehensive dance training across various disciplines. Their rigorous schedule includes multiple hours of focused practice throughout the week, emphasizing a well-rounded approach to dance education. This love of dance is shared through both community and professional performances. Their performances extend beyond the studio to various community events, showcasing their talents on both large and small stages. A highlight of their journey is the biennial trip to Orlando, where they captivate audiences with performances at Walt Disney World and Universal Studios during the 4th of July holiday.
The CCDPC thrives on collaboration, engaging with esteemed partners such as the Denver Philharmonic, the enchanting Nutcracker! Magical Christmas Ballet, and 303 Magazine for Denver Fashion Week, among others. This vibrant and dedicated group of dancers not only exemplifies excellence in their art but also actively contributes to the cultural tapestry of their community and beyond.
✨ 2025/2026 CCDPC Company Auditions – April 26! ✨
We are so excited for the upcoming 2025/2026 CCDPC Company Auditions on April 26! Below, you’ll find everything you need to know about auditioning and the general company requirements. All dancers, including current company members, must complete the registration process and follow these steps.
Audition Prep
We’re returning to a formal audition format, so all dancers are required to:
- Create a dance resume
- Bring a 5×7 headshot
Creating a dance resume is an important skill-building process that helps dancers reflect on their journey, experiences, and accomplishments in the dance world. We encourage you to involve your dancer in this process as much as possible—it’s a valuable exercise that not only prepares them for auditions but also helps them develop their self-presentation skills.
