New Elite Ballet Program (EBP)

The EBP is a new division of ballet designed and geared to the serious ballet student. Under the direction of Liz Gonzalez and Sandra Goodnough, the program offers private coaching, high caliber performance opportunities, and ballet competition.

This past season there were 6 participants: Madison Bourque, Madison Jones, Salma Kuihan, Andrea Mish, Maia Montgomery, and Grace Sutton. These students attended Youth American Grand Prix Regional Competition in Tampa and Universal Ballet Competition Regional Competition in Miramar.

Julie Bravata, Leon Davis, Roger Dunson, Liz Gonzalez, and Sandra Goodnough choreographed and coached the dancers to high marks. Some of the benefits earned as part of the EBP include scholarships and an invitation to finals in New York.

Brava Dancers!

Congratulations, Lauren!

Bring-a-Friend to Class! Sept. 8th-Sept. 21st

We love dancing with friends! For 2 weeks at the beginning of each season, we welcome students to “Bring-a-Friend” to class with them FOR FREE!

This is a fun opportunity for students to bring a non-enrolled friend to open classes. Your student’s instructor will provide the class with class passes for their friends. The friend must submit the class pass to the instructor completely filled out in order to attend.

Bring-a-Friend is available for classes that have openings as we are unable to accommodate the space in closed classes. Please review the Bring-a-Friend schedule below for our available classes.  We hope these 2 weeks will be a lot of fun for all! We look forward to meeting new friends!
