Be prepared to stay for the full 2 hours. Dancers should wear a leotard and tights or a fitted T-shirt and leggings. Bare feet or dance shoes are required.

What to Expect:
Dancers should arrive in appropriate dancewear and bring ballet slippers, jazz shoes, and sneakers. After a group warm-up, dancers will learn and perform 2 to 3 combinations in styles such as Ballet, Hip Hop, African, Modern, or Contemporary. Students will be assessed on how quickly they pick up choreography and how fully they commit to the movement.
