A unique program designed to help children grow as artists at all levels, from early-childhood through age 17.
TUCD employs nationally recognized dance faculty and staff who create an encouraging yet challenging environment that engages young dancers to sample the exciting world of sophisticated and inventive choreography and teaching methodology. Our program emphasizes a strong technical foundation, while educating and broadening the mind to appreciate and integrate the artistic voice of dance, past and present, in all forms.
The enhancement program is an introductory study of dance technique offered to establish a fundamental love of the art of dance. These classes provide students with a fundamental basis of classical training, as well as refinement of self-expression and creativity.
These classes are offered for beginner-to-intermediate dancers seeking to enhance their technical training, while expanding their knowledge and appreciation of dance.
Modeled and developed for the serious dancer to acquire more in-depth training and enhance artistry. Classes will concentrate on refining technique, gain strength and stamina, and expand their artistic voice through choreography and repertory. Students are required to take four class per week.
