Accelerated Program

Ages 7-10

Accelerating your skills and reaching higher levels

The Accelerated Program is by invitation only. We invite dancers who show the joy, skill and mindset needed to propel them forwards.

 

The Accelerated Ballet Program combines the skills in the RAD and Cecchetti Ballet grades 1-5 syllabi into just 3 years of training! This specialized program will allow dancers to be ready for a pre professional program by the age of 10/11.

The Accelerated Program is a full season program where dancers are expected to commit to the full season from Sept-June with two shows, monthly fee, costume fee and WAPA uniform.

If you are in the Accelerated Program and you take other classes outside the program those classes are 50% off.
