Cedar Street Dance Company

Cedar Street is a student dance company comprised of the most serious and dedicated dancers at Rye Country Day School. The company values technique, passion, hard work, expression, innovation, and creativity. Members work together to enhance the community through dance and performance. Through this, Cedar Street works to bring attention to the artistry and athleticism of dance.

A Cedar Street Apprenticeship is a yearlong member status in which students will work towards gaining the necessary technical and performance skills to become a full member. These apprenticeships are given to students who display great potential in their technique and performance, but still can benefit from building upon their current skill set. Apprentices will be required to be present at all rehearsals, always learning whatever choreography is being set. They will be expected to partake in technique classes throughout the school year with Mrs. Zanon. Additionally, apprentices will perform with the company for different events over the course of the year in varying degrees, with the potential to earn their full membership for the following year. At the end of the first year of an Apprenticeship, dancers will be evaluated to determine whether they will enter the next year as a company member or maintain their Apprenticeship status. An apprenticeship is a great opportunity to be a part of the company while allowing for progress and growth over time.
