For Our Younger Competitive Dancers

Elementary Turns and Beginning/Intermediate Balances & Walkovers are designed to give younger dancers a head start on their training. Dancers will build the strength, flexibility, balance, coordination, body awareness, and technical foundations that will support their progression in competitive dance. The goal is to build strong foundations now so dancers are prepared for more advanced turns, acro, and technical choreography as they grow.

High School Dance Team Prep

Our High School Dance Team Turns & Tech Prep class is specifically for middle school dancers who want to begin preparing for the technical demands of high school dance team. Dancers will work on turns, technique, flexibility, strength, and performance skills while building confidence for future auditions.

College Dance Team Prep

For high school dancers, our College Dance Team Turns & Tech Prep and College Dance Team Acro classes are designed around the skills and technical expectations used in college dance recruiting, including the 2026–27 NDCA Common College Dance Recruiting Guidelines. Dancers will work toward skills including advanced parallel pirouettes, à la seconde combinations, jumps and leaps, flexibility skills, walkovers, and side aerials. Additional acro skills we’ll work toward include front aerials, standing back tucks, back handsprings, headsprings, kip ups, rubber bands, scorpions, and advanced specialty skills.

Whether your dancer is working toward their first walkover, cleaning up their turns for competition, preparing for a high school audition, or training for college dance team, there’s a class designed to meet them where they are.
