Leverage Dance is currently seeking dancers for immediate performances in its 3rd season. Under the direction of Tawny Chapman, Leverage Dance seeks to provide a professional-level experience for the maturing and art-minded pre-professional dancer. Comprised of dancers between the ages of 16 and 22 with a strong technical foundation, this group focuses on bringing the art of movement to the forefront through concert dance with a strong point of view. 

Dancers attend a weekly hour-long company technique class followed by a ninety-minute repertory rehearsal (Tuition: $65/month) while maintaining concurrent enrollment in a minimum of three other technique classes at a local college, high school or at Impact Dance Center. This structure allows the dancers the flexibility to customize their training schedule to meet their individual needs and goals.

Previous season performances have included studio concerts, benefit events, Studio A Dance!'s DanceSpot, Pasadena Dance Festival, MixMatch Dance Festival and the company's very own self-produced annual repertory concert The Junction. Dancers have been afforded the opportunity to work with professional choreographers Omar Olivas (Diavolo, Backhausdance), Blythe Barton (San Diego Dance Theater, Malashock Dance), and Rachel Pace (Backhausdance) in addition to Artistic Director Tawny Chapman. Previous company members have concurrently attended Chapman University, California State University Long Beach, Orange Coast College, Cypress College, Cal Poly Pomona and Los Alamitos High School. Former members have gone on to attend SUNY Purchase and LINES Ballet/Dominican University of California, while others have achieved success in the professional world performing with Disney Cruise Lines and Disneyland Resorts.
