In 1992, Karen Davies Thomas formed the Profile Dance Company. Profile is comprised of approximately 35 aspiring young dancers ranging in age from 8 to 18. Entrance into the company is by audition only and selection is based on talent, sense of commitment and sincere love for dance. Profile's dancers are enrolled in an intensive dance program and these dedicated students are provided choreographic experience and performance exposure. Members of the Company perform throughout the community in local schools, retirement homes, shopping malls and festivals. Performance venues have included Arts Week, The Children's Aid Foundation Event, The Pickering Philharmonic Orchestra, Pickering ArtFest, The Toronto Granite Club, The Canadian National Exhibition Rising Star Competition, and The Muskoka Annual Ballet Gala held in Orillia. Every winter holiday season, Profile delights audiences with its splendid performance of excerpts from the Nutcracker In the summers of 1996, 2003, and 2008, members of the Profile Dance Company spent 3 exciting weeks touring France! Dancers of the Company travelled to Marseilles, Nice, Cannes, Monaco, Avignon, Arles and Paris. These fortunate students studied dance and performed at L'academie superior de mediterranean. As a result of this experience, two of the company members, Allison Gibbons and Erin Poole, returned to France to study dance full-time at L'academie superior de mediterranean. This past July, PSB hosted guest teachers and students from France. 2009 Competition Results Terpsichore Competition Results Luv2 Dance Competition Results Sur La Pointe Competition Results Back to Top
