Introduction

The Junior Program provides an excellent preparation for the Senior Professional Program. It is geared toward middle school and high school students and others, who are studying at an intermediate level of training. The Program is ideal for students who have a special interest in modern dance performance, including students who may wish to become professional modern dancers.

The Program focuses on developing dancers who are technically strong and artistically dynamic and open. We view the essence of training to be the removal of obstacles limiting the emerging of the artist within. To be ‘technical’ is to be optimally unbounded and free. To achieve this, our objective is to provide an individual approach to training each dancer. We also seek to instill a respect for the importance of the artistic work and for all participants.
