Pre-Professional Training Program
Awaken Dance Academy provides gifted young dancers intensive training and mentoring to ease the transition from the local dance studio to a university or professional dance company. Our goal is to develop well-rounded dancers with excellent technique, and encourage individual artistry to flourish in a Christ-centered environment.
Technical Classes
Our classical ballet curriculum is fortified with Cecchetti methods and Balanchine influences. In addition to daily ballet, dancers will train in jazz, lyrical, tap, contemporary, and more. Dancers will also receive supplemental and targeted training with leaps and turns, strength and flexibility, and pilates.
Enrichment Courses
In addition to dance classes, students will engage in weekly Bible discussions and studies. Rotational courses include nutrition, dance history, labanotation, anatomy, improvisation, dance pedagogy, choreography, musical theatre, and more!
Academic Support
Awaken Dance Academy students may choose to enroll in an online academic program, adopt a homeschool curriculum, or participate in a limited class schedule in a traditional school.
We can help connect you with local resources to make an informed decision for your dancer.
