​Royal Expressions Contemporary Ballet is an innovative dance production company that has been a part of the growing arts community in Greensboro, NC since 2009! The company has produced 6 original dance productions that uplift, inspire, and empower the community.

Royal Expression’s unique structure uses dance as a tool to educate, engage, and spark conversation about various issues and topics. The company employs four resident choreographers: Willie Hinton, Amma Waddell, April Schweitzer, and Princess Johnson, an average of 8 – 10 professional dancers, plus 2 – 3 guest choreographers, per year. Past guest choreographers have included Alicia Graf Mack (Head of Dance at Juilliard), Tabia McKinzie, and Regina Tate.  

The company seeks qualified dancers to perform in various stage productions, community productions, and private contracts.  Qualified dancers must be 18 or older and and have ballet, jazz, and contemporary dance experience and training. No professional experience is required! Hip Hop, Tap, Pointe, African, Horton, Graham and other dance techniques and styles are a plus! Male and female dancers are welcome.  

This is a part-time paid opportunity. The main reason we decided to go on hiatus in 2017 was to fulfill our obligation to pay dancers for their rehearsal AND performance time. We returned to the stage in 2022 and launched REVIVALUTION to make a statement:

Revival – after a 4-year hiatus our professional dance artists returned to the stage.

Evolution – we spent 4 years restructuring and reorganizing to better serve our artists and our community at large.

Revolution – we are here to advocate for pay, funding, and opportunities for Black artists.

Too often in our area dancers are not paid for their studio time and we want to change this trend.  Rehearsals will be on average 4 hours a week, 2 times a week.  Dancers will be paid $12 – 22 per hour depending on technique quality, performance experience, and rank in the company. Contracts would range from 18 – 36 weeks per year.

Our dancers are treated like royalty and are our most important employees as they are the essence of our company.  Perks include free technique and entrepreneurship classes, free fitness and nutrition classes, healthy snacks and beverages during rehearsal, meals for rehearsals 3 or more hours long, and lifelong friendships. We are a close-knit community and feel like a family.  We are looking for team players who are ready to push and be pushed to excel to new levels together.
