Pre-Professional Classes
Academy of Dance’s Pre-Professional Program is by invitation only. Students must be advanced to, and registered in, Ballet VI and Lyrical VI or Jazz VI to be eligible for the Pre-Professional Program. Additionally, they must meet all technique requirements for Pointe. To maintain a pre-professional level of dance requires vast performance experience, the ability to handle the pressure of performing in a competitive environment, the experience of conventions (training and exposure to top industry professionals), and the ability to dance as a team and as a soloist. Therefore, Pre-Professional students must also be Synergy Dance Company members.
