Upper Division Dance

By Placement Only (9+ Years)

Our upper-division dance program is designed to develop strong, pre-professional dancers with a focus on career readiness. Selected students attend multiple ballet technique and pointe classes each week, supplemented by a comprehensive schedule of rehearsals, performances, master classes, and special events.

Throughout their training, upper-division dancers build close relationships with their instructors, benefiting from personalized guidance and mentorship. Our experienced faculty provide expert support in navigating auditions, college applications, summer programs, scholarships, and career opportunities. Whether students choose to pursue a career in dance or apply the discipline to other fields, the skills they develop through our program will serve them throughout their lives. All upper division students will perform in our yearly December & June productions.
