PREPARATORY Programs
Our Preparatory programs help dancers build upon the Foundations programs from their younger years, in preparation to continue to grow and advance in their training. They are also a great place to start for New to Dance dancers ages 7+ who are interested in trying dance.
ONE Academy of Dance is a pre-professional training school. What that means to us is that all of our classes hold the level of instruction that dancers can build upon to move into higher levels of training. We know that not all dancers will choose to pursue professional careers in dance, but we do believe everyone deserves access to that high level of instruction. Instruction that is age appropriate for the dancers growing body and that teaches dancers that caring for their bodies is an important part of physical and mental health as well as a key to a long and enjoyable lifestyle.
We know that this type of training not only produces proficient technically advanced artists, but that lessons in self-discipline, respect for teachers, peers and parents, hard work, consistency, perseverance and so much more will translate into character development that will serve them in any field.
