New for the 2020 dance season! This program is designed intentionally for the dancer who wants to achieve more, set higher goals, wants increased body awareness and athleticism and is considering a career in the performing arts. The ITP has a required set of class disciplines and hours for each level (Junior, Intermediate, Advanced) and will include personalised, consistent mentorship with one of our senior instructors. ITP participants will also receive additional performance opportunities at competitions, community events and will be expected to maintain an academic average (set by parents) in order to remain in the program. To see if you or your child would be a good fit for this program, please set up a call to discuss with one of our Customer Care Associates.
