What exactly is the Technique Intensive (TI) Program?

Our Technique Intensive Program is for the serious dancer who is looking for diverse training. They take classes in Ballet, Pointe, Jazz, Tap, Conditioning and Stretch. They are typically here 3-4 days per week. This program is available by invitation only. We are able to set up a trial class for this program if you are interested. That way, Miss Megan can evaluate your dancer and see if this program would be a good fit for them. 
 
We ask that inquiries for a trial class within the TI program are for dancers with previous dance experience.

Question 10

What makes your studio different from others in the area?

Accepted Answer

We have a very different atmosphere than most studios in the valley. Miss Megan, the owner of our studio, is from the midwest. Therefore, we are a very ballet based studio, where as most studios in the area are jazz or contemporary based. We are also a DRAMA FREE studio and have a zero tolerance policy for it. We pride ourselves in creating a kind, healthy atmosphere that helps foster growth within our dancers.
