Introducing Training Programs 1 & 2

More classes, more growth, and a clear path forward for our youngest dancers.

We're thrilled to announce two new additions to our Season 27 lineup: Training Program 1 and Training Program 2.

Created under our joint venture as DanceMakers Namari Collective, these programs give dancers more time in the studio, a stronger technical foundation, and a clear pathway toward joining our company.

Whether your dancer is hungry for more classes, dreaming of company life, or simply ready to grow, there's now a place built just for them.

Training Program 1 (Ages 6–7)

Training Program 1 is designed for young aspiring dancers ready to learn and expand on the foundational steps of Ballet, Jazz, Tap, and Hip Hop. In a safe and encouraging environment, students build strong technique while developing a genuine love for the art form—and making new friends along the way. From basic ballet positions to the upbeat rhythms of jazz, the fundamentals of tap, and the showmanship of hip hop, every class is built to inspire confidence and joy.

This is the perfect next step for our current Headstart Ballet/Tap dancers.

Training Program 2 (Ages 7–9)

Training Program 2 is the natural progression for dancers who've completed Training Program 1 and are ready to take their skills further. Covering the same four genres—Ballet, Jazz, Tap, and Hip Hop—this program offers a more comprehensive and challenging experience. Dancers refine their technique with more complex movements, turns, and jumps, take on higher-energy choreography, and build greater speed, accuracy, and musicality. In hip hop, they'll explore the latest moves while developing their own style and expression.

This is the ideal next step for our current Level I Ballet/Tap dancers.

Weekly Schedule (same for both programs)

• Ballet & Tap — Mondays, 4:30–6:15 pm

• Ballet — Fridays, 4:30–5:30 pm

• Jazz — Fridays, 5:30–6:30 pm

• Hip Hop — Fridays, 6:30–7:30 pm

Training Programs 1 & 2 have separate ballet classes, while all other classes are combined.

Tuition: $320/month per program

How to Register

Current Headstart Ballet/Tap dancers can register for Training Program 1, and current Level I Ballet/Tap dancers can register for Training Program 2 – both will be available to register online starting June 15th.

If your dancer is auditioning for the company, we recommend waiting until audition results are posted—our Directors will recommend the training program best suited to prepare them for next season.

We're so excited about the future and about giving every one of our dancers the chance to reach their full potential. Have questions? We'd love to hear from you—reach out anytime, and we hope to see your dancer in one of our new training programs next season!
