Performing Group for Elementary Ages

In Motion - Performance Team for Middle Schoolers

In Motion is our program specifically for middle schoolers. Dancers take technique and performance classes together with a schedule that accommodates their academics.

Royal Blue Dance Company

The Royal Blue Dance Company is comprised of our high schoolers. These dancers work to produce a benefit gala in the Spring. The Royals exemplify how dance can benefit our greater community - and they have fun doing it.

Solos

We offer opportunities for students age 10 and older to develop as a dancer through a solo dance. Typically these dances are learned in summer and early Fall.

Teaching Assistants

Students in middle and high school can further their leadership skills by serving as a teaching assistant. Every 2-3 years we offer a teaching academy for those students interested in becoming teaching assistants. We love our teaching assistants.
