Dance Companies

Being part of an NC State student dance company is a college experience like no other. Choreography and performance are at the core of our two companies. Here, you’ll do more than practice your craft—you’ll create beautiful, compelling art.

As a member of a company, you’ll be challenged by high expectations, nurtured by passionate teachers and encouraged by your fellow dancers. Our small-company setting means you’ll develop close-knit, collaborative relationships with the faculty, guest artists and other student performers. You’ll also thrive in an environment where your unique perspective is respected and trusted.

Our companies are open by audition, and members receive repeated academic credit for participation.

I loved every single second of my time in an NC State dance company. The people I’ve met have become my best friends and it was awesome to be able to grow alongside such amazing artists.
