Our ESD Performance Division (PD) team is rewarding team experience for those dedicated to a higher level of training intensity and performance quality. To provide optimal instruction, students who would like to pursue the PD team are assessed by our faculty and placed into the division and classes that are best matched to nurture them to grow in their talent and potential.

ESD Competitive Team: The ESD Competitive Team is in addition to specific technique classes, allowing dancers to train in a specific genre, while gaining additional choreographic and performance experience. Dancers on our Competitive Team will be offered the opportunity to participate in a maximum of four competitions in April or May, which will be determined by the Studio Directors.

Dancers are REQUIRED to take the appropriate mandatory Intensive technique classes at their level for each PD class. NO EXCEPTIONS.
