Season 26/27
Competition teams
Two programs, one audition: every dancer who auditions is evaluated for placement across both — then follows the schedule of the team they're placed on.
COMPANY
Novice – intermediate · ages 4+
For dancers new to competitive dance or with novice-to-intermediate experience — the perfect next step for recreational dancers ready to take their training further. Company teams attend 3–4 traditional competitions (KAR, Hall of Fame, Showbiz, Showstopper), one convention, and one nationals each season.
OCPRO
Advanced · ages 7+
Our advanced-level competition team, for dancers with experience competing at the highest level at dance conventions — typically including solos. OCPRO teams attend 3–4 conventions (Velocity, Hollywood Vibe, JUMP), 1–2 traditional competitions, and one nationals each season.
At auditions, every dancer is evaluated for placement across both OCPRO and Company groups, and follows the schedule of the team they’re placed on. Placement depends on there being an appropriate age and skill-level team for the dancer. Current OCPRO dancers re-audition each season; current Company dancers audition for OCPRO by invitation.
Company auditions
Monday, July 27 – Thursday, July 30 · $200 per dancer
Auditions run as a week of master classes with guest instructors and choreographers in various styles, with OCPAA faculty observing — callbacks may follow. Includes all group master classes and the Season 26/27 audition fee.
Audition week info documentCan't attend audition week? ($125 audition application fee per dancer)
Can’t attend audition week? Register for the audition-only package and the studio will contact you to arrange a private audition. Missing the full master-class week means a dancer can’t be evaluated directly against peers, which may affect placement.
OCPRO auditions
Monday, July 27 – Friday, July 31 · callbacks Saturday, August 1 · $300 per dancer
A week of master classes with guest instructors and choreographers serves as the audition; OCPAA faculty observe throughout. Dancers not auditioning may take the master classes as drop-ins. Includes all group master classes and the Season 26/27 audition fee.
Can't attend audition week? ($150 audition application fee per dancer)
Register audition-only and the studio arranges a private audition; absence from the full week may affect placement.
