The Houston Metropolitan Dance Center is proud of its Houston Met Too, Training Youth Company. This non – competitive concert based repertory dance company is a product of the growth of the school and also functions as a training ground for HMDC’s own professional dance company.
The Houston Met Too training program for young dancers creates the setting needed to acquire the skills needed in working with professional dance companies. The program also works to instill a professional work ethic necessary for dance and beyond. The majority of Met Too company members are college bound. The company members of the Met Too Program range from those interested in pursuing dance careers to those seeking a highly motivated and pro-active extra curricular activity to compliment their academic work.
For the Houston Metropolitan Dance Company it provides a continuous flow of dancers who are well trained in a variety of styles. Houston Met Too can be seen performing as the “Curtain Warmers” for the Society of Performing Arts Performances, The Children’s Museum, Jazz in Arizona Dance Festival, and their own main stage concerts twice a year.
