​CORE Performance Teams

Train with Purpose.
Perform with Passion.
​Grow with CORE.

​


Concentration on technique
Opportunities to perform
Respect for tradition
Energy towards the future
CORE is our pre-professional performance track for dedicated dancers who are ready to further their technical training and performance experience in ballet, contemporary, and jazz.
A strong technical foundation is essential during the years when a dancer's body is developing. Through focused instruction, disciplined training, and meaningful performance opportunities, CORE helps students build strength, artistry, confidence, and a lifelong appreciation for the traditional art forms of dance.
The CORE program is divided into three performance groups, allowing dancers to grow through age-appropriate training and performance experiences. ​Each CORE group performs throughout the year at community events, local organizations, and our spring competition, providing dancers with valuable stage experience while sharing the joy of dance with our community.
