Recreational/Open Program

Our Recreational/Open Program is designed for dancers who are looking for a less intensive dance experience, and availability is based on enrollment and is subject to change.

While students in this division will be opting out of the pre-professional training schedule, they will still be trained with technical excellence from master instructors.

Students in this division are not eligible for the Accelerated Training Program.

“...the most honest expression that we can share with ourselves. The permission to just explore new ways to move without expectation. It also provides an avenue to expand our body's artistic vocabulary through our own instincts; it helps us connect with our bodies and builds new ways to connect with each other and build relationships that weren't there before.”
