Competition Team Information

AOD Performance Companies are a select group of students who represent the studio at competitions.   The company's main focus is to strengthen students who want to take their talent and ability to a higher level through stage performance opportunities and competitions, both on a regional and a national level.


Our dance studio has ranked in the top five at regional and national competitions, we have received numerous "Studio of Excellence" awards and our company members have earned scholarships to intensives, workshops and conventions from all across the country.


In addition to our company dancers, we also are very proud to have a Thespian Troupe, which focuses on musical theatre, Broadway, vocal and acting.   Our Thespians are a diverse group of talented actors, singers and dancers - a true "triple threat"!


Auditions are held in the Spring for both our Dance and Thespian teams. 


If you would like more information regarding our companies or troupe, please call us at (904) 880-2275 or email at academyofdancejax@gmail.com
