Footage Youth Dance Company

Footage is a non-competitive dance company dedicated to empowering and inspiring young dancers by fostering creativity, discipline, and a deep appreciation for the art of dance. Our mission is to provide dancers with the opportunity to experience a professional dance atmosphere while serving as the face of Feet First in our community. Through high-quality training, innovative choreography, and meaningful performance opportunities, we cultivate confidence, teamwork, and artistic expression.

This company focuses primarily on creating content in the modern and contemporary style. We have select performances throughout our year that include; Dance For Her, Phoenixville’s Christmas Tree Lighting, The Christmas Spectacular, Phoenixville’s Earth day Event, DelAwareness and our annual Footage Spring Showcase.

Company members are required to attend the Footage Dance intensive in the summer (dates TBD), attend company rehearsals every Friday evening from 5-7pm, and take 2-3 techniques classes a week, one of them being ballet. All members are required to sign a contract; claiming their role and responsibilities in this company. Dancers are also required to wear black dance attire to all Footage rehearsals, and purchase Footage team gear.

Dance is more than movement—it’s a journey of self-discovery, courage, and connection. By stepping outside our comfort zones, overcoming fear, and unlocking new parts of ourselves, we grow not just as dancers, but as individuals. We embrace the power of movement to build confidence, work together, and create art with meaning and purpose. This is what we do. This is who we are.

Anyone interested in joining Footage must audition. Auditions are held in May. (Ages of dancers invited to audition may vary year to year). We are looking for dancers who are seeking a space to dive into the artistry of dance. Who want a place to develop their craft as a performer and artist. We are not about producing dances to just produce dances on a stage. We are looking for heart, and passion. So if that’s you…. We hope to see you at our Footage auditions!
