Company Troupes

There are currently three troupes of the Teelin Irish Dance Company, all based out of our Columbia studio.  Auditions are held in the late Spring each year if there are positions available, and are open to any Teelin dancer (entering third grade or older) with hard shoe experience who shares a passion for performing and perfection.

Auditions for the 2008-09 company will be held on Friday, May 2, 2008 at 5:00pm in Columbia.

         Tips for Auditioning

Members of each of the Teelin Irish Dance Company troupes are required to attend a mandatory Company Camp in the summer, to commit to the troupe's rehearsal and performance schedules, to purchase certain costumes, and to enroll in the upper level Irish dance classes at Teelin School of Irish Dance in Columbia, Millersville, or Timonium.

Each troupe meets for weekly practice at the Columbia studio throughout the school year.  Additional rehearsals will be scheduled as needed.  Maureen Berry, Director of the Teelin Irish Dance Company, works directly with each of the troupes and choreographs or approves all dances.  A parent is also assigned to each troupe (deemed "Troupe Mom") to assist with communication amongst the dancers and their families.

Important information about each performance will be sent to company dancers by email and posted on the password-protected Company Members Site.
