The Warwick Dance Collective is the Warwick Center for the Performing Arts' resident dance company, offering conservatory-inspired training rooted in a strong classical ballet foundation. Through technical excellence, artistic exploration, and performance, dancers develop the discipline, creativity, and versatility needed to grow as expressive artists.

The Collective features four divisions based on age and experience:

• Senior Company (ages 14–18)

• Studio Company (ages 12–15)

• Junior Company (ages 9–13)

• Pre-Company

Beginning with the 2026–2027 season, all weekly company rehearsals are included as part of Warwick Dance Collective membership, and company production participation fees have been reduced, allowing families to budget more consistently while ensuring dancers receive the rehearsal time necessary to prepare exceptional performances.
