Want To Be Part Of Our Award-Winning Premiere Dance Company?
The Premiere Dance Company started in 1987 with just 2 dancers, Miss Michelle & Miss Corinna. Miss Lisa and Miss Allie were the next to join and since then we’ve grown to over 100 dancers and over 100 routines each season. We have placed 1st among some of the most competitive teams in the country and have been awarded several Technique, Choreography, Entertainment and Special Awards along the way. PDC is a family within our larger Premiere Dance Family. Not only do the dancers get to bond over a common goal, but they make life-long memories that any of our Senior class students can tell you are hard to leave behind.
We expect that students give a full commitment to the company when selected.

I want to audition for a solo, how can I do that?
1. Please note if you have done a solo for 3 consecutive years you do not have to audition for a solo this year. (Outside dancers must audition) Those dancers who have done 3 consecutive years of a solo but wish to try out for a new style must then audition for that style.
2. All other soloists and potential new soloists must fill out the solo form and hand it in no later than June 1st to Mr Joseph. (Email us for the form) jtudor@premieredancenj.com.
3. You will need to come up with a 45 sec solo audition without the help of any Premiere staff member or professional in the dance industry. You choose your own music and we will fade it for you at 45 sec the day of the audition. Ages 10 and up as of January 1, 2025 may be considered for 2 solos. 9 and under 1 solo. Please note you must have a minimum of 2 years on large or small group routine to be eligible to audition. (This excludes petites ages 5-8; they only need one year of experience on the company). High School Seniors may choose the option to self choreograph their solo if selected to do one. More info will be sent to our current high school Jr’s about our Sr. choreography program. You do not need to try out for a solo in order to be considered for a duo/trio.
