About the Dance Studio Program
In our Dance Studio Program, you’ll gain a strong foundation and understanding of dance technique in ballet, jazz, tap, contemporary and theatrical dance. This summer, you will have the opportunity to explore these foundations of dance through fun themes that will culminate in a costumed performance on stage!
DANCE STUDIO PROGRAMS
We are excited to introduce our RECITAL SUMMER SESSION to the dance studio program. In the Fall and Spring sessions, students work on technique and artistic development. In the summer 2010 session, those students focus on the process of creating a live PERFORMANCE with a grand recital in August. To participate in the Recital Summer Session, students should be registered and building skills year round.
