FPA Co.

The Francis Performing Arts Company is designed for experienced and committed dancers who are ready to make dance their top priority. Company members train at an elevated level, attending weekly rehearsals in addition to meeting their general technique class requirements. Through this program, dancers strengthen their performance skills, grow as artists, and develop the discipline and teamwork necessary for success both in and out of the studio.

All company dancers are offered expanded performance opportunities throughout the season, helping them remain engaged with the local arts community. From community events to studio showcases and special productions, these experiences allow dancers to apply their training in meaningful ways while building confidence and stage presence.

As dancers advance through the company and reach Company One, they are given the unique opportunity to travel out of state. These trips are focused on broadening their dance education—offering master classes with industry professionals, exposure to new styles, and the chance to see live performances by professional companies. These experiences not only enhance their training but also inspire them to dream bigger and deepen their appreciation for the art of dance.
