YOUTH PRE-PROFESSIONAL PROGRAM 

We're back and excited to host an 8-week fall session for youth! The INSPIRE Youth Performance Series was created to cultivate excellence, confidence, and artistic pride in young dancers through high-quality, affordable training in the performing arts.

​

This pre-professional program is designed for dedicated dancers ages 10–17, with audition opportunities for younger dancers (ages 6–9) who demonstrate readiness. Participants will train in Ballet, Modern, Jazz, and Afro-centric techniques, enhancing both technical skill and creative expression while receiving mentorship and guidance toward future opportunities in dance and the performing arts.

Throughout this 8-week session, dancers will grow through a dual-focus curriculum:

​

• Weeks 1–4: Jazz Foundations — Emphasizing endurance, flexibility, coordination, and rhythm while learning the fundamentals of Jazz technique.
   

• Weeks 5–8: Afro-Fusion Exploration — Blending the grounding movements of traditional African dance with the fluidity and storytelling of familiar contemporary styles.
   

The program concludes with an Open Rehearsal, where families and friends are invited to witness each dancer’s progress, artistry, and confidence on display.
