Rising Stars

We are proud to offer our Extension Program for the more committed dancer. Just imagine the opportunity for you to achieve a higher level of training in focused technique classes with other dancers who have similar goals, all while still fostering a love for creativity and expression! Our extension program is designed to build upon the technique learned in our dancer’s foundation classes. Dancers attending classes in this program will be working on more advanced techniques while also focusing on strengthening what they already know. These classes are purely technique-based and will not be performance classes. In these classes, we will also work deeper with goal setting, both within the dance studio and beyond.
