APPRENTICE COMPANY
The RCDC Apprentice Company is a competition group for boys and girls ages 3 to 14 under the di- rection of Sydney Smith. The Apprentice Company is specifically designed for dancers who desire an overall stronger commitment to dance outside of a recreational program. This is a competition team for dancers at the beginning and intermediate level.
The Apprentice Company competes locally two times per season with minimal travel and no na- tional competitions. Dancers are required to at- tend classes two days per week. They have up to two hours of fundamental training classes per week along with weekly group rehearsals.
For season 9, the apprentice company competed locally at Kids Artistic Review in Hot Springs, AR and Showbiz Talent Competition in Little Rock, AR. They received top honors and many first overall placements at both events.
From the Apprentice Director:
Wow! What an amazing year! The RCDC faculty and I have enjoyed having all of the apprentice danc- ers in classes and rehearsals this season. You all have worked so tremendously hard and it has been my honor to watch you grow.
Thank you to all the appprentice company parents for your love and support. Your dedication to your dancers is inspiring. I have enjoyed working with you this year.
I can not wait to watch you perform at recital together as a team one last time. Enjoy this moment to shine!
