Dancer
Advancement

We offer unique opportunities for currently enrolled dancers to develop personally and grow professionally on and off the stage.

"It's more than just dance"

Dancer Development

Part of our mission at Dance Inclusion is to provide dancers with personal and professional development opportunities.

We go beyond offering the typical dance studio benefits.

When we say, “It’s more than just dance...”, we mean that our students are receiving more than just a dance lesson. In our programs, dancers not only learn proper technique, artistry, and safe training from expert instructors, but they also learn how to receive feedback, how to provide constructive criticism, how to be part of a team, how to be someone that others want to work with, how to cope with set backs and find the motivation to keep going, how to learn from their mistakes, how to navigate difficult relationships and conversations, how to support others, how to be their own advocate, how to be proud of themselves, how to challenge themselves, and how their strengths are important to the success of the team.

How We Do it?

Focus on individual Growth

Level Appropriate Placement

Our curriculum is designed by expert dance instructors with professional education experience. We develop intentional, thoughtful, objective driven lesson plans to help dancers learn the fundamentals and advance appropriately to each level. We want to ensure dancers are getting the most from their dance training!

Individual Goals and Reflection

We work with dancers to set achievable goals throughout the year. Dancers are provided supplemental tools to monitor progress towards their goals and reflect on daily classes.

Unique Evaluation Process

Our evaluation process is uniquely designed to motivate, assess, and measure growth. The feedback is used to identify strengths and weaknesses to accurately place students in the appropriate level. Dancers are evaluated in Technique and Conditioning classes. Our goal is to challenge dancers to be the best version of themselves, on and off the stage!

Accountability

We support dancers in and out of the studio and hold dancers accountable. Some classes and programs require dancers to commit to at-home activities. We encourage self-discipline and autonomy.
