The Academy program offers the perfect blend of outstanding training and flexibility, and provides dancers with a comprehensive curriculum that develops technical proficiency, artistry, and versatility, all within a nurturing and supportive environment.
​
This division in our dance academy is designed for the dancer still looking for outstanding training in conjunction with their other extra-curricular activities. The curriculum consists of Vaganova-based classical ballet training supplemented by carefully structured non-classical classes. These include Contemporary, Jazz, Acrobatics, Tap, Hip-Hop, and our competitive Performance Company.
​
The Vaganova method of classical ballet is a world-renowned system that lays the foundation for exceptional technique, strength, and grace. This training not only builds the dancer’s core abilities but also instills discipline and artistry, preparing them for success across various dance styles and genres.​​
Nurturing Talent with Elite Training
To create well-rounded dancers, we supplement our classical ballet training with a diverse selection of non-classical classes. These include Contemporary, Jazz, Acrobatics, Tap, Hip-Hop, and opportunities to participate in our highly regarded Performance Company.
​
Each style is taught by specialized instructors who bring a wealth of professional experience and a passion for teaching. This dynamic mix allows dancers to explore and excel in multiple forms of movement, fostering creativity, adaptability, and confidence.
​
Our Contemporary classes combine elements of ballet and modern dance, encouraging dancers to explore emotional expression and innovative choreography.
​
In Jazz, students develop sharp, dynamic movements and a sense of rhythm, often blending classic techniques with today’s trends.
​
Acrobatics classes enhance flexibility, strength, and balance, enabling dancers to execute impressive tricks and transitions safely and with control.
In Tap, dancers learn to make music with their feet, mastering rhythmic patterns and intricate footwork.
​
Hip-Hop brings an energetic, freestyle edge to the curriculum, challenging dancers to embrace individuality and cultural influences.
​
Through participation in our Performance Company, dancers experience the excitement of competitive dance, refining their stage presence and team collaboration skills.
​
Our dance academy is carefully structured to accommodate dancers who wish to excel in dance without sacrificing their involvement in other passions, such as academics, sports, or the arts. We pride ourselves on fostering a positive atmosphere where each dancer feels valued and encouraged to grow at their own pace.
