Our Competition Philosophy
Becoming a member of the Competitive Company is a wonderful opportunity for performers to focus on enhancing their training experience. EPA believes in utilizing Competition as a tool, not only as a personal gauge, in which to be exposed to other talent and styles. Camaraderie, team-work, commitment, discipline, accepting critique, exposure and developing a solid work ethic are just a few of the positive aspects of working as a unit as a member of the EPA Company.
You develop artistry, self confidence and the drive to accomplish tangible goals you have established. EPA focuses on healthy competitive habits where winning is not the main focus, rather being better than you were your last performance. We measure student growth, not winnings!
What helps to set us apart?
At EMPIRE we believe that Education is the key to student growth and success. Therefore, MONTHLY Master Classes are scheduled for Company Members ages 10 & up. Attending these classes enables our Company Members to learn from Industry experts. By doing so, they are exposed to stylistic knowledge and an introduction to Genres not offered at our Studio, such as Bollywood, African Dance, Latin Ballroom and many more. Each Month is a different Genre and Master Teacher!
