The Richmond Dance Theatre is known for its energetic, crowd pleasing performances throughout the State of Virginia. Students who have achieved the necessary technique and strength may audition for our performing company.
These dancers appear throughout the region, and also travel to dance competitions. As a competition team they have achieved national recognition. They have performed at Disney Worlds’ Magic Kingdom and Epcot Center, with the Richmond Symphony, and at Dogwood Dell. They also perform at local festivals, half-time shows and other special events.
The group of eighteen, with ages ranging from 9 to 18 is very diversified. Under the direction of Annette Holt and Rodney Williams, they perform Classical Ballet, Jazz, and Modern dance. Their repertoire ranges from Gospel works and strongly dramatic reflections of African American history to lively and contemporary jazz dances.
To audition, dancers must be at least nine years of age and have training in Ballet, Modern and Jazz. Auditions normally occur in August. Members pay monthly dues, and parents are expected to participate in fund-raising and other Theatre projects.
