Prep Programs

Our Rising Stars program (ages 5-6) is an invitation-only program for focused, enthusiastic young dancers ready to take their technique and performance abilities to the next level, while also learning the importance of team work. Dancers perform at 2 competitions & our annual recital.

Our Apprentice Prep Program (ages 7-9) guides dancers ready for a deeper commitment to training. Dancers strengthen their foundational technique and performance skills while preparing for our Company or Ensemble tracks. Dancers perform at 3 competitions & our annual recital, gaining valuable experience and confidence along the way.
