The Competitive/Professional Path Program
We believe each dancer is on their own unique journey and we strive to help them achieve their dance goals; no matter what they may be!
The Professional Path Program is for those who want to explore dance at the most dedicated level. It requires dancers to be well-rounded by taking Tap, Ballet, and Jazz. Our Competitive/Professional Path Program is comprised of our competitive Starlette teams (must audition) and any student ages 6+ who takes Tap, Ballet, and Jazz. This program takes a holistic approach and focuses on dance education, mental discipline, and growing confidence!

How We Define Success
|
This program is designed to allow our dancers to achieve their dance dreams both big (dancing on Broadway) and small (executing a double turn) and everything in between!
We believe that trophies and medals, while a great tool to motivate work ethic, do not equate to success in the dance world. While we compete to win, we do not consider a trophy success. Success is making and reaching new goals, showcasing our talents and receiving new feedback to improve every day so we can stand out at auditions/get roles in top performances, and to start on tools important in becoming dance educators! |
