Performing Groups
Competitive & Community Performance Teams at Expressions
Expressions Performing Group's mission is to build confident, technically skilled dancers who are leaders in their community, while providing them opportunities to compete against themselves and showcase their abilities beyond East County.
Performing Group teams have multiple opportunities to perform throughout the entire dance year at community events, competitions, fundraisers, and recitals. Performing Group members also participate in unique training opportunities like masterclasses & dance conventions.
There are three tiers of commitment, allowing families to choose the level that works best for their unique dancer.
Performing Groups at Expressions allows dancers to receive extra dance training and performance opportunities, while forming bonds with their teammates through competitions, weekly rehearsals, masterclasses, and fun activities.
Tiers of Commitment:
At Expressions, we know that everyone's dance journey is unique to their specific interests and goals. We have a variety of programs designed to help your dancer's talents and gifts develop in a nurturing and safe environment, surrounded by friends and mentors who are here to boost confidence and inspire excellence!
If your dancer is looking for more ways to serve their community, become a leader, perform more often, or lands somewhere in the middle... we're excited to see them through their own path to success!
The 2026-2027 Dance Season begins July 6, 2026, and will conclude in June 2027. Look through the list of our special programs below and check any that might interest or benefit your student!

Testimonials
As a mom, I have been so in awe of the way the choreographers have crafted dances that encourage improvement, but also highlight the dancers’ strengths and let each and every dancer shine.
Our daughter’s dance skills and confidence have grown so much with each opportunity to perform, but she is learning so much more: how to be a supportive teammate, to meet challenges like masterclasses and competitions with courage and positivity, to define success not by perfection or comparing herself to others, but by her attitude, efforts and improvement, and to find inspiration & joy in the art of dance!"
Jamie H. (mother of two performing group students)
EDMC’s Performing Group and ECBC is a group of dancers that are more than just a dance program, they are family. Her dance family has been supportive of all of her endeavors ranging from pushing her skills as a dancer to growing her as a leader. But, PG and ECBC haven’t just been important to just my daughter, it is important to our whole family. We have made close friendships with other dance families that extended beyond the dance studio. This is a studio that is inclusive, and grows leaders who dance!
