2019-2020 Company audition information:
As one of the nations top preprofessional dance training programs, our company component is the perfect compliment to the intensive technical and artistic training we offer on a weekly basis. The performance opportunities we curate for the dancers gives them them the chance to put their technical and artistic skills to the test. Win, lose, or draw at competition...not important. At Sweatshop our focus is on the journey, the path to performance teaches the dancers invaluable skills and life lessons. By simply working together to bring a vision to life, we are forced to encourage, embrace, and engage with one another in a way that helps our students truly appreciate that each contributing individual brings their own strengths to the table. The rehearsal process encourages honesty, humility, integrity, self-awareness, accountability, and acceptance; invaluable life skills.
What makes Sweatshop unique?
What makes Sweatshop unique?
- 98% of our students, both company and non-company, are enrolled in our full program (they're all fully committed!)
- Monday through Friday are dedicated training days: each genre is pure, rehearsal NEVER takes the place of class-time
- Our training program IS the most comprehensive in Colorado - truly preprofessional level training in nearly ALL genres
- All of Sweatshop's incredible faculty have been, or are, professional dancers
- College? Yes please! 92% (and almost 100% of those who have applied) of our alumni have been/are attending Top 10 college dance programs.
- With few exceptions, our company choreography is done entirely in house, which gives our dancers the opportunity to really become the "vision" for each choreographer. It's important to be held accountable for doing the work exactly as designed, and for the dancers to understand the intricacies of their work - having the choreographers themselves in the studio with the dancers every rehearsal is invaluable time spent learning and practicing the mastery of each genre they're performing. Both in the studio and on stage, the dancers are able to fully appreciate how their day-to-day training directly applies to their performance.
- Sweatshop's 21,000 square foot urban-setting facility, complete with sprung-floor systems throughout, provides the dancers with both the space and professional environment they need to become brilliant movement artists.
Only the most talented and dedicated students may participate in our Assembly Line program. This hand selected group of young dancers ranks among the best in the country! This group competes at both regional and national levels and is offered many performance opportunities throughout each season. Assembly line dancers have been featured in Dance Magazine, Dance Spirit Magazine, have appeared on television, at movie premiers, in official Broadway productions, and in a variety of world-class dance companies. The level, diversity, and frequency of training these dancers experience gives them the edge they’ll need to succeed as professional dancers. The Assembly Line program has been named one of the nations most up-and-coming dance programs, consistently producing well-rounded professional quality dancers and artists.

Help an Assembly Line dancer by contributing to our Scholarship Fund!
Sweatshop distributes over $40K in profits each season to dancers in need, but we still need help keeping all of the dancers training and performing. With tuition, must-do training opportunities, performance fees, and travel-related expenses, most families make huge financial sacrifices to make it work and, even then, some of our most talented dancers are often left waiting in the wings. If you or your business is interested in helping a dancer achieve their dreams, we encourage you to make a contribution to our Scholarship Fund. Whether you'd like to donate to a specific dancer or donate to the general fund, it's easy to contribute:
