SUMMER PROGRAMS 2023
Children’s Division
Our Children’s Division is for dancers starting out in their journey. They learn about the foundation of dance. Students exercise their bodies and imaginations under the guidance of instructors who specialize in early childhood education.
Student Division
Our Student Division is for dancers who wish to continue their ballet training. Our Student Division classes focus on technique, repertoire, and varied dance disciplines. We place students in the Student Division based on the class that will best suit their continued development as a dancer. Dancers who wish to join this division must take a placement class for our faculty to assess the best option for them.
