About
Our Advanced dance program provides comprehensive training for dancers who are committed to reaching their highest potential. Building upon years of technical development, students continue refining their strength, artistry, musicality, and performance quality while exploring increasingly challenging choreography and movement.
Classes emphasize precision, versatility, and artistic expression, encouraging dancers to think critically, perform confidently, and develop their own unique artistic voice. Students are challenged to set personal goals, embrace constructive feedback, and take ownership of their continued growth as performers and individuals.
Ballet remains the foundation of advanced dance training and is strongly encouraged for all dancers. Through continued ballet study, students develop the strength, control, alignment, and artistry that support success across every dance style.
Advanced dancers may continue their Pointe training, building technical proficiency, strength, and confidence through safe, progressive instruction. Turns, Leaps & Stretch classes further develop flexibility, power, balance, and control while enhancing performance quality across all disciplines.
Performance Opportunities
All Advanced dancers perform in our annual Spring Production. Students enrolled in ballet classes also participate in our annual Nutcracker production and have the opportunity to audition for featured, soloist, and principal roles. Additional performance opportunities may be available through select classes, productions, and studio programs.
