Intensive Division
INTENSIVE DIVISION
The Intensive Division offers an exclusive curriculum for serious dance students. The goal of our Intensive Division is to provide our students an unparalleled level of professional training in classical ballet. Classes are carefully chosen to advance the technique, artistry, and performance skills for dancers who see dance in their future as more than a recreational activity. With that said, note that it is not only geared towards students seeking a professional career in dance. Intensive Division dancers gain self-discipline, a strong work ethic, dedication, commitment, and an appreciation for high standards of excellence - all qualities for a life of success. Intensive Division dancers receive several wonderful opportunities such as working with guest choreographers and teachers, taking master classes, and receiving special discounts on tuition and other dance - related fees. Intensive Division dancers receive the opportunity to enrich their community through dance by participating in community outreach, local festivals and events, and much more! Intensive Division dancers must fulfill all weekly requirements, make-up all missed classes, and carry themselves in an utmost respectful manner. If needed, parent - teacher conferences may be scheduled to discuss and evaluate a student's progress and future as an Intensive Division student. The requirements for each level are shown below.
