About the Program
The Certificate Program is a three-year program for experienced beginners and intermediate-level students ages 17 to 23 who have completed their secondary school requirements. This program takes a conservatory approach to dance training combining technique, dance academics, creative studies, repertory, and performance.

The weekly schedule includes 15 to 17 dance technique and somatic classes. The core curriculum consists of daily classes in ballet (which may include classes in pointe for intermediate/advanced students) and Horton and/or Graham-based modern 5 to 6 times per week. Supplemental and elective classes include jazz, tap, Dunham, West African, barre à terre, yoga, Gyrokinesis®, and body conditioning. Creative courses and dance academics such as improvisation, dance composition, dance history, music, and theater arts are also required.
