These dancers will train with our accomplished local staff and guest artists throughout the country. Their training commitment will cover ballet, jazz/contemporary, lyrical, hip-hop, Pointe and Tap disciplines. Overall training ranges from 5.5 to 12 hours a week plus rehearsal time. These students will compete in regional and national events throughout the year depending upon age, gaining exposure and recognition throughout the country.

Team members will spend dance 3-8 hours a week training (depending upon their placement level) and are invited to attend several local competitions, one convention, and the opportunity to attend additional events with our company members.
