Dance

The Dance Program is a comprehensive curriculum of classes in traditional ballet, pointe, modern, and jazz techniques that prepares students for advanced college-level dance programs, as well as for future work with professional dance companies.  In addition to their rigorous technical training, students will also be immersed in the history and composition of dance to gain an appreciation for dance and how to organize and develop artistic ideas.
