Company Dance at North Crest Kids Activity Center is a performance-based, competitive dance program made up of dancers ages 6–18 who are selected through instructor recommendation and/or an audition process. The dance year for Company begins with placement auditions held at the end of May, with one referenced year holding auditions the week of May 19. Company dancers can train in Jazz, Lyrical, Contemporary, Tap, Hip-Hop, and acro, with Ballet and Jazz classes required at all Company levels and Tap required through the intermediate level. Pre-Pointe is offered once dancers reach the intermediate level, and Pointe is offered by invitation when dancers are able to safely go en pointe. All Company dancers participate in two group competitions each year, while Advanced and Superior groups take part in an additional group competition during the season. Solos, duets, and trios are available to Company dancers who have been in the program for at least two years, and these may compete in two to three competitions depending on placement level. Company Dance includes levels titled Broadway Babies, Showstoppers, Novice, Intermediate, Advanced, and Superior.

One week of summer is dedicated to a Dance Camp for Company dancers that is also open to all competitive dancers in the area. In 2024, Summer Dance Camp takes place during one week at the beginning of June and replaces regular classes. Pre-Company dancers can participate in dance camp on a smaller scale with Company members, and competitive members attend three to four days of camp. Instructors from within and outside of North Crest provide instruction during Dance Camp, and each day of camp ends with a show for friends and family.
