Artistic dance program
We are dedicated to growth and innovation without straying from our strong tradition of excellence. Our Artistic Dance Program allows for dancers to train at a competitive level without the time commitment and expenses of a competitive program. Within the Artistic Dance Program, dancers will focus on their artistry, technical ability, performance quality, and entertainment through the two professional level productions. “Pitch Black”, our Halloween show in October and our themed “Spring Show” in May.
As part of the Artistic Dance Program, dancers may choose to participate in extra training, performing and competing opportunities. Dancers may audition for multiple Troupes or one individual troupe depending on their wants and needs. Additional classes can be added to any team for a discounted cost when available. Please scroll down to review Artistic Troupe options.

Does taking the stage to refine your performing skills excite and motivate you? Do you want to take advantage of every opportunity? This is your chance to “add a dance” so you can do more. This is not a training opportunity, just a performing opportunity for those wanting more opportunities and are willing to do the work.
__________________________
By “adding a dance” you will be committing to learning choreography (either by video or in person), attend rehearsals (held on the weekend or evenings seasonally), and do at home practice to be prepared to take the stage.__________________________
