exploration

The program is built to cultivate exploration and find direction for a possible dance career.

Most dancers are not aware of the next steps in the dance industry after high school. Many are also not aware that there are other opportunities within the dance industry that isn’t necessarily in the performer role. We curated several career tracks for each dancer to explore.

Program Tracks to explore:

  • Dance Performance (camera/stage/concert)

  • Choreography & Dance Instruction

  • Performance Marketing & Media (video & photography)

  • Stage Direction & Design

  • Event Promotion

  • Artistic & Creative Direction

  • Business Administration (Artistic Direction, Studio Owner/Operations)

collaboration

Our program will foster an evolving & innovative dance collaboration throughout local and national communities through many different vehicles.

  • Professional dance performances (local, state, national, possibly global) in hip-hop, jazz, contemporary and modern styles

  • Cross - collaboration with other dance, music & art groups, industry professionals, agents, casting and professional arts/dance schools.

  • Elevate Dance Conservatory advocacy opportunities in other dance venues, such as dance competitions, schools and events - we want dancers to know dance is a career other than just being a performer!
