NTS PERFORMING COMPANY (PC) / By Audition / Invitation Only
(Ages 10 - Middle School)
NTS PC is designed as a pre-professional training program with performance opportunities that reach beyond our semester productions. The PC is a year round commitment that begins in August and runs through May and is geared toward our most advanced and committed students.
It is important that PC Members have some basic dance training. Enrolling in a Ballet class or NTS Dance Fundamentals is recommended before starting PC.
PC Students will learn a 20 minute variety show that will be performed at different events around town including TPAC's Family Day, and other community events and schools. In addition to doing the Spring Academy Division Musical as a PC Company, the PC also performs at the Belle Meade Holiday Parade and other holiday events. We are always working to add new events to our performing schedule for next season. PC & HSA students are eligible to travel and perform at both Jr Theatre Festival in Atlanta and on our NYC Summer Study Trip and our Spring Cabaret.
We will also be adding more to the training component with the PC, adding Master Classes in all areas of dance, voice and acting with some on camera and self tape training.
Students must meet the weekly Ballet or comparable technique class requirement and will attend a Tuesday or Thursday night dance class at NTS. There is an approved list of technique classes that can fulfill your technique requirements, please reach out to Ms. Vanessa for approval.
Private Voice is a nice addition, but NOT a requirement.
AUDITIONS: We will hold auditions for PC on Thursday May 14th, 2026 4-5:30PM and Monday May 18th, 2026 4-5:45PM. Students will make an appointment through the SIGN UP GENIUS and bring in one minute of a standard Broadway showtune and sing with an accompanist. Students should bring in sheet music / audition binder, marked and in the correct key.
Both new and returning company members need to audition, this is part of the training component.
PC TUITION:
Please note that PC is a year long commitment and will meet from August-May.
Tuition: $225 / Month (August - May), this includes all dance classes and PC rehearsals.
