Half-Day Program

 The Half Day Training Program allows dancers to focus on furthing their training and involvement in the community. Dancers in academic grades ten and older are eligible for the program. Dancers who are high school aged pair a half day of school with an intense, professional dance program and receive credit towards graduation for their training. The program affords the dancers unique opportunities to work with local professionals, develop and present much of their own work and grow in a supportive, safe space.
