INTENSIVES
Our Dance Intensives are designed for Beginning/Intermediate through Advanced dancers ages 8+ who are ready to take a more serious and focused approach to their dance training. These programs are ideal for dancers looking to challenge themselves, grow their skills, and deepen their technique and performance abilities. Intensives are fast-paced and more rigorous than recreational programs, requiring commitment, focus, and a strong work ethic. This is an excellent opportunity for dancers who are motivated to learn, improve, and take their training to the next level.
To ensure a positive and successful experience, we recommend dancers have at least six months of dance training prior to enrolling in an Intensive.
