Windsor Competitive Dance Company
The Windsor Competitive Dance Company is located at the Edmunds Towers School of Dance, under the direction of Dianne Edmunds and Donna Towers Bolohan. The company is selected through annual auditions and consists of approximately 40 members ranging in age from 6 to 18 years of age.
Company dancers are experienced in all areas of dance and are required to take dance classes in tap, ballet, and jazz classes each year. In addition to their regular dance lessons, the company rehearses choreography once a week with extra rehearsals on weekends. There are also extra dance classes available to the company members, including lyrical, hip hop, leaps and turns, and extra tap and ballet classes.
Company members are given numerous opportunities to learn and discover new dance techniques by attending and participating in dance conventions. Edmunds Towers School of Dance also frequently invites world renowned master teachers/choreographers to come to our studio and instruct our students.
The Company travels throughout Canada and the United States several times a year to perform. This also includes performances at regional and national competitions. Company dancers have received national and regional recognition for their numerous high point awards and scholarships. Throughout the year, Company dancers perform at various venues, including several charitable events, in Kent and Essex counties.
Company dancers learn good sportsmanship, responsibility, dedication, and teamwork, qualities that can be built upon to remain for a lifetime.

Performance Companies
Our Performance Companies introduce dancers to the world of performance and teamwork. This is the perfect opportunity for those who have been dancing in recreational classes to experience competitive dance with fewer time and financial commitments. To be a candidate, all members must be enrolled in ballet, tap and jazz classes, and be a minimum of 6 years of age.
In addition to regular dance classes, the performance companies take a two hour class once a week to work on flexibility, dance technique, energy, and stage presence. This time is also used to learn and rehearse three pieces of choreography with which to compete and perform.
Although our focus is to give students a chance to perform and dance more hours, the skills learned in all of our team programs have proven to give valuable life lessons that continue to benefit the students in all areas of life. Self-discipline, self-expression, responsibility, and team camaraderie are just some of the qualities that our students are guaranteed to acquire.
