The PRE-PROFESSIONAL DIVISION
Training for aspiring professional dancers that builds strong technique and promotes artistic excellence.
The Steps on Broadway Academy’s Pre-Professional Division offers intensive training for aspiring young dancers in an environment that fosters artistic excellence, technical strength, and a strong sense of community. Students in this program engage in a rigorous and diverse dance curriculum designed to prepare them for the demands of the dance industry.
Graduates emerge with the skills, discipline, and versatility needed to continue their training at top college dance programs and conservatories, or to launch professional careers in concert dance, commercial work, and on Broadway.
Pre-Professional Select Study has been designed for our students ages 14-18 who have achieved an advanced level of proficiency. This program offers a full array of Pre-Professional level classes taught by our Pre-Professional faculty and is joined by audition only. Although there is no minimum class requirement, students are encouraged to study multiple styles to maximize their progress. Those training in Select Study will have the opportunity to perform in our Winter Starlight, Spring Fling, and Spring Illuminate Concerts throughout the season.
