ArtsPrep Dance Academy
Fall Session runs September 11 - December 18, 2010
The ArtsPrep Dance Academy exists to train students in the art of dance and equip them with the skills needed for entry into college. The program, available to all skill levels, provides students the opportunity to explore various styles of dance, express themselves creatively, and develop the technical foundation and physical conditioning needed to progress into more advanced dance instruction.
Progressive classes in modern dance and ballet will prepare students to excel technically and artistically. To reap the greatest benefit, students are strongly encouraged to take classes in both modern dance and ballet as well as to explore various styles of dance from different cultures and eras. Excellence in performance will be developed through a presentation at the end of each term. Taught by the area’s top professional dancers, the Dance Academy’s course offerings emphasize discipline, commitment, focus, and fun!
The ArtsPrep Dance Academy will provide opportunity for talented students to acquire the necessary skills for success in college dance programs and, ultimately, in the field of dance through the training made available in our course offerings.
