The Junior Ensemble was created to offer younger dancers additional tap training opportunities. Open to intermediate level dancers ages 10 & up, this division is a training only program designed to transition younger dancers into our Rhythm Ensemble Apprentice division. Interested dancers must audition for a spot in these training sessions.

​

The Junior Ensemble program consists of a one year program, split into three terms. Dancers do not need commit to the full year in order to participate in the program, but it is strongly recommended in order to maintain consistency in their training. Dancers must commit to (a) full term(s) and drop-ins will not be accepted. Terms are as follows:

​

• Term One: September- November

• Term Two: December- February

• Term Three: June- August
   

Dancers will work on tap technique, improvisation, music theory, live music sessions, and history, as well as work with various artists in residence.
