The Intensive Training Program

The Intensive Training Program (ITP) is designed for serious young dancers ages 8 and up who are interested in a concentrated and focused study of dance. The program offers outstanding training and performance opportunities for talented young dancers. We nurture well-rounded dancers who can progress pre-professionally and professionally as artists. Students will take away time-management, self confidence and interpersonal relationship skills that positively contribute to any chosen career path.

Based on a multidisciplinary approach to dance education, ITP is a well-rounded multi-year program that includes training in ballet, jazz, modern and creative movement. Students have the opportunity to attend workshops with visiting artists and Companies in Residence. Performance opportunities are also an integral part of the process and are offered in innovative ways at each level of the program. 

Admission to ITP is by audition only.

If you have questions about the Intensive Training Program or would like to register for or arrange an audition, please contact our Program Director, Kate Houston below. Please provide the student’s age and a brief dance history.
