PERFORMANCE CLASS FAQS

What if I’ve never performed before?
There’s a first time for everything! This program will teach you the ABCs of the stage, including terminology, industry standards, performance techniques, and more. Your choreographer will work to ensure you feel confident and ready for show day. Be sure to register for a class at your appropriate level.

What if I’m not sure if the class is right for me?
Each class has a specified level. If unsure, consult the choreographer before signing up. Try attending one of their drop-in classes to assess the level. Once committed, it’s important to follow through, as your choreographer and fellow dancers will rely on you.
