Conservatory Program
Our Conservatory program offers a nurturing environment for young dancers to grow. With small class sizes and dedicated teachers, we offer a focused curriculum, concentrating on sound technique, artistry, and musicality. Our Conservatory students (Level 1 and above) are invited to audition for the Nutcracker each year and perform in our Spring performance at the close of each season. Please contact us to schedule a complimentary trial/assessment class.
