For students who wish to dance professionally, we offer additional support to help achieve this goal:

• Our director meets with the student monthly to review technical progress, establish training goals for the next month, develop a cross-training plan, review mental and physical health, and discuss any questions or concerns the student may have. 
• We provide 1:1 coaching at least once per month to address technical gaps and needs, introduce cross-training exercises, and to help the student set a focus and approach for classes. 
• Once the student is 12-13 and ready for a summer intensive, we advise on ideal programs for the student’s needs and interests and either help prepare for auditions or help put together audition videos. 
• We advise on boarding programs and assist with the audition process for those students who have the desire and aptitude. 
• We offer additional performance opportunities for pre-professional students with our company, including the opportunity to perform new choreography and classical works. 
• If desired, we can provide support with competition preparation. 

We maintain connections throughout the dance world through our alumni and instructors so that we can help students identify programs and opportunities and determine their path into the professional dance world. No two paths look alike, and we are committed to supporting vocational dancers in finding their own unique path.
