What Our Dancers Experience
Every dancer here is unique and there’s something to learn from everyone. Having differences in your movement style is what makes you special, and this program brings light to that.
Yana Sologub
The community and relationships I’ve been able to form will last far beyond the length of the program.
Jay Breen
Leaving this program, I already feel a lot more connected to the industry and I have resources to pull from for when I need help and advice.
Michael Missios
I’ve started to become really comfortable with myself as a dancer. I had no clue who I was as an artist before this. Because of the talent I’m around every day I’m really finding out who I am.
