Company Classes
This year we are co-hosting the Elevate Dance Conference on February 15,-16, 2026 for dancers ages 12 and up.
Although our Fall Session has always been focused on technique building, we wanted to give our students the opportunity to participate in the Dance Competition that will take place over this special weekend event.
​
In order to not take away from precious class time, we've created add-on classes for the Fall Session only to allow students to perform in this convention.

Ballet Company 2: For dancers in Ballet 7 and Teen Contemporary
Jazz/Contemporary Company: For dancers in Jazz/Contemp Level 2, and Level 3
