Apprentice Program
Our apprentice program offers dedicated students the opportunity to train with teachers in the room and develop skills in leadership, guidance, lesson planning, and team building. Typically, students will assist in classes for a few years and then, in their senior year, have the chance to teach a class on their own.
There are numerous benefits to participating in this program. As mentioned before, it provides students with additional time in the studio, which is highly valued by colleges with performing arts programs. This involvement also sets students apart when applying for college and gives them a competitive edge. Moreover, this program prepares students for a career in teaching dance, whether it be on a full-time or part-time basis. It is truly a gift to have a job that instills genuine passion and inspiration.
Another advantage of assisting in classes is that it provides students with extra and free training.
​
The mission of this program is to cultivate leaders today who will shape a better future tomorrow.
