At the Chris Collins Dance Studio, we value every student -- young and old, beginners and advanced students alike.  It is our aim to offer a quality, dance education to all of our students.

Some students choose to make dance their primary extra-curricular activity and participate in dance at a very high level.  These are members of our performing Dance Company.

Participation in the Dance Company occurs by invitation, with the teaching faculty determining annually those students who exhibit the dedication, attitude and proficiency to represent the studio in public performances and competitions.

In addition to attending classes several nights per week, Company members perform in shows and exhibitions around the Washington, DC area, at Hershey Park in Pennsylvania, and Walt Disney World and Universal Studios in Orlando, FL. 

They also regularly attend dance workshops and competitions around the region, having traveled in recent years to Virginia Beach and Portsmouth in Virginia; College Park and Columbia in MD; and New York, City.  In the summer of 2006 our Dance Company members were featured performers on a Royal Caribbean cruise to Bermuda.
