Trove Company

Excellence. Growth. Community.

The Trove Company is The Boone Dance Trove's performance and competition team, created for dancers who are ready to deepen their training, challenge themselves artistically, and become part of a dedicated team environment.

Our mission is to cultivate strong, confident dancers while fostering a supportive community built on encouragement, teamwork, and a shared love of dance. Trove Company dancers are given opportunities to grow both technically and personally while creating lasting friendships and unforgettable experiences.

What is Trove Company?

Trove Company is designed for dancers with previous dance experience who are eager to take the next step in their training.

Throughout the season, company members will:

  • Participate in two regional dance competitions

  • Perform at local community events and studio showcases

  • Receive focused technical training

  • Develop performance quality and stage presence

  • Build confidence, discipline, and teamwork skills

  • Represent The Boone Dance Trove with excellence, kindness, and joy

Our Philosophy

At The Boone Dance Trove, we believe dance should remain a positive, encouraging, and safe space for every child.

Because of this, our company placement process is based on technical readiness rather than traditional auditions. We want dancers to feel supported as they pursue new challenges without the pressure often associated with competitive team selections.

To ensure dancers begin from a similar foundational level, we use a set of technical benchmarks that allow our instructors to place dancers fairly and consistently.

These requirements are not meant to discourage dancers, but rather to create a strong foundation that helps every company member succeed.
