A placement class/audition or recommendation from a teacher is required to join The Performance Program.
Performance Program students will compete one to three times and may be asked to perform at community events, and will perform in the year-end “Finale”, possibly in more than one show.
Professional Training Program

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.
The program consists of mandatory ballet, jazz, musical theatre/voice, and tap and/or hip hop. Dancers in this program will compete in a minimum of 3 groups.
