Thomas Dance Pre Professional Contemporary Jazz Program
The Thomas Dance Pre-Professional Contemporary Jazz Program provides rigorous training for intermediate and advanced dancers ages 12-17. Pre-Professional students will attend Ballet, Contemporary and Jazz classes at The Thomas Dance Studio throughout the school year. The program is designed for dancers to attend traditional school in the morning or early afternoon and travel to the studio for late afternoon classes. The hours are also conducive for students who are homeschooled, or attend charter school or cyber school.
We seek to create thoughtful dance artists who exhibit personal integrity and community-mindedness and who are seeking to grow their abilities in a unique setting with other students who also share their passion and level of dedication. Our acclaimed faculty focuses on individualized instruction for each student, drawing from extensive pedagogical backgrounds in their respective schools of training and solid professional performing careers. Their expertise paired with the Thomas Studio syllabus creates a rigorous, comprehensive training program that allows a dancer to develop strong contemporary jazz technique, style and musicality.
Recognizing the importance of academics and arts, The Thomas Dance Studio has created a Pre-Professional Contemporary Jazz Program to allow students all of the benefits of an individualized advanced dance education that will also allow the time to study, rest and spend time with their family. The Thomas Dance Studio has an excellent reputation for high quality dance education and we are proud to expand our curriculum to include this program.
Our classes are scheduled in the late afternoon to prevent conflicts with existing dance classes or programs that each dancer is already dedicated to! Participants do NOT have to be otherwise affiliated with the studio and are free to train elsewhere as well.
Schedule:
Tuesday, Wednesday and Thursday for the months of September – May
Class #1: 2:05-3:05pm
Class #2: 3:10-4:10pm
Dancers will enjoy classes in contemporary, improvisation, leaps & turns, jazz, lyrical and ballet! Dancers will also have access to appropriate level Dance Company technique classes at no additional charge.
