The Repertory Company

The Danceworx Repertory Company was set up with senior students hand-picked by the Artistic Director Ashley Lobo and it currently stands at a strength of over 60 artists. These budding artists are given opportunities to perform, teach and choreograph. They have a special curriculum set by the Artistic Director. Their dance repertoire consists of pieces varying in styles from the various Jazz forms to original Contemporary movement based on a strong understanding of the classical forms – both eastern & western.
