Throughout the season, workshops and masterclasses will be available to enhance dancers' skills. Some workshops may be mandatory and may require an additional fee, while others will be provided at no extra cost for students but will still be required as part of their training. These workshops offer valuable instruction from guest artists and industry professionals.

Workshops & Additional Training

All competitive dancers are required to attend two weeks of intensive training before the season begins. This includes:

Technique classes to strengthen skills before choreography begins
Choreography sessions to set competition pieces for the season

Schedules for this pre-season training will be sent out before the summer to allow families time to plan accordingly.
