Dance

Emerging dancers attend this intensive classically-based ballet program for the strictest interpretation of the Vaganova technique. Through rigorous teacher planning and complex exercise training, students learn to bring a conscious approach to every movement. While here, they are also exposed to modern, jazz and character dance. Students are taught to appreciate and develop self-discipline, physical agility and grace. All dancers are encouraged with the opportunity to perform at least three times a year to build confidence, elevate performance skills and refine stage manners.

Former students of the dance department are contracted and dancing professionally in major ballet companies throughout the nation, including the New York City Ballet, American Ballet Theatre, San Francisco Ballet, Boston Ballet, Miami City Ballet and the Joffrey Ballet, among many others.
