The Professional Training Program focuses on producing a well rounded dancer who loves performing, competing, conventions, and may be considering a future in dance. Dancers will connect with guest choreographers, take part in engaging workshops, and experience exciting opportunities with their team beyond the studio. Dancers typically train multiple days a week ranging from 8 to 16+ hours a week depending on level.
