We don’t recruit the finished product. We build it.
For the dancer who’s ready for more. We meet every dancer where they are, and then we raise the bar.
Placed to thrive
Dancers are placed by age and ability each season, so everyone trains where they’ll grow. For younger dancers, Company is their first team. No competition experience needed, just a love of dance and a willingness to work.
Serious training
Commercial-based training, supported by ballet 2–4 days a week for the technique that makes it all work, plus turns and leaps, acro, stretch and more.
A full season
Competitions and conventions across Texas, a national competition every year, and performance opportunities every season. We’ve even danced at the NCAA Alamo Bowl.
Itty Bitties
Big personalities. Even bigger smiles. Our youngest company dancers get their own competitive experience: age-appropriate routines, sparkly costumes and every moment of the spotlight. Every great WADA dancer started somewhere. A lot of them started right here.
From our floor
to the field.
WADA alumni dance on college teams across the country, from LSU and Clemson to the University of Texas and so many more. They perform on cruise ships, in music videos, on convention staffs and as professional dancers.
