Company Tracks
The Movement
THE MOVEMENT is our pre-professional level, national award-winning Company that focuses on technique, artistry, versatility across all styles of dance, and performance. Dancers in The Movement train 5-6 days per week in all styles of dance, and represent C-Unit both as a team and individually in competitions across the country.
There are many paths a dancer from The Movement may choose and is ready to pursue after graduation including: college dance or conservatory programs, joining a company, or commercial dance and musical theatre. We are extremely proud of The Movement alumni that have gone on (or are currently pursuing) professional careers in dance, as well as those who have applied their training and discipline to countless other careers.

The Company
The Company is C-Unit’s second most advanced level competitive team. If you wish to still have the performance aspect and the camaraderie of being on a team, and want to train in all styles of dance but aren’t ready to commit to the time required of THE MOVEMENT – The Company may be right for you! The company is based on audition only.
The Company is broken up into two groups, and from there each dancer is placed on an individual track of AP classes based on evaluation in each style. The company competes with THE MOVEMENT in a maximum of 4 group competition routines (the company is not eligible for specialty dances or solos).
The Requirements/Hours:
Company I (ages 12 and under): ~7-8 hours per week of training + 1-4 hours of rehearsal each weekend
Company II (ages 13+): ~9 hours per week of training + 1-4 hours of rehearsal each weekend
Plus:
- 4-5 mandatory conventions/competitions per year, 2 optional conventions, masterclasses throughout the year
