Pre-Professional Program

“The teachers, aside from encouraging and enriching my love of dance, have also exposed me to so many different aspects and opportunities that will help prepare me for a future in dance.”

Bianca Cala

Conservatory Dancer

“I appreciate that CityDance is committed to maintaining a personalized program that strives to meet the needs of every dancer. The dancers in and outside of my classes have talent and artistry pouring out of them; it is so beautiful to watch and learn from those around me. This passion and drive we all share for our art brings a unique and contagious energy to the room. I feel energized and inspired to learn and improve whenever I come to class.”
