Who is a 360 Performer?
Company 360 houses a wide range of working professional dancers, bringing their time and talent as performing artists and technical dancers of the highest caliber and ethic. Our professional company ranks include: mental health professionals, addiction specialists, special needs teachers, fine arts artisans, and beyond.
Additionally we provide performative opportunities and training to regional pre-professionals and youth ready to learn and grow on a per-show basis. Many of our youth and training company continue on show-to-show and a select few have joined our professional ranks.
Our '22-'23 Pros
Core, Pro Co, and our Actors ( 18+ )
All our dancers audition at the same level as we strive to be as non hierarchal as possible, and fight as many of the competitive or toxic norms in dance as we can. All dancers must be part of our community for a show (the equivalent of half a season), to be considered for Core, our invite-only, professional focused story drivers. All our pro dancers receive free dance class, performance opportunities, and a united community for life. Consideration for all dancers is based upon role modeling, tenacity, worth ethic, and performance (always performance).
New for our Fall '22 show, we now recruit and cast actors to carry some of the more nuanced, silent narrative roles. See our current members below and if you don't yet consider yourself a dance, but have some acting chops, perhaps there is a role for you in an upcoming original production!
Our Fall '22 Trainees
PrePro + Trainees ( 13-17 years )
Our high-school dance trainees are focused on performance, passion and purpose, while being exposed to the inner workings of a career level company. Dancers gain exposure to new choreographers, styles of movement, and mental practices, while having the opportunity to participate in at least two original, linear, full-length contemporary ballet works per season right alongside our incredible pro dancers.
Carving out a "next step" for our training company, our PrePro company has been established as an invitation only track with the additional honor and opportunity to train and dance alongside our Core company.
*Although auditions are free, those accepted into the Training and PrePro companies are responsible for a per-show fee that supports training, facilities, rights, scholarships, and our Art-Advocacy-Accessibility initiatives.
Our Fall '22 Youth
Youth ( 8-13 years )
What started as a kind, cathartic outlet for young dancers wanting the chance to perform and honor their training studios has grown. 360YC has shifted to become a premiere, challenging, creative home for serious young dancers wanting to inhabit roles and be role models in equal measure. The trainees and pros that they share the stage with now operate at such a level that these incredible youth dancers have little choice but to achieve rehearsal and performative excellence; all the while working within a culture of inclusivity, respect, and friendship.
*Although auditions are free, those accepted into the Youth company incur a per-show fee that
supports training, facilities, rights, scholarships, and our Art-Advocacy-Accessibility initiatives.
