From Ballet, Modern, Tap and Jazz Dance to Ethnic/Afro-Caribbean, Ballroom and Hip-Hop, the training in these genres provided by professional guest instructors and choreographers provide the students with a unique opportunity to learn from instructors at the Masters level.

Each season we also recognize the budding talent of our student choreographers, by providing a section for them to share their young creative genius.
