Half Day training will be an option for students taking courses six days a week September 2015 to June 2016. Half Day training requires leaving school early at least some afternoons each week. Please speak to us right away if you are interested and most importantly, speak to your child’s school!
Experts agree, expertise in anything requires an investment of at least ten thousand hours. To dance professionally, a student must do vocational training in childhood and adolescence, so the accumulation of those hours cannot wait until graduation from high school. To make getting in those 10 000 hours a more reasonable proposition, we offer Summer training, Performance Training Company Programs, and Half Day training September to June.
Half Day training is not required for membership in a Performance Training Company program but Half Day technique courses are included in Performance Training Company All Inclusive Tuition.
Half Day Technique courses focus on conditioning and what each in the small group of students most needs instruction.
