Our Emerging Artist Program is designed to equip dedicated dancers with the tools, knowledge, and mentorship they need to reach the next level in their training and careers. Whether your goal is to become a convention assistant, earn scholarships, or pursue dance professionally, this program was created to support and empower your growth.

 

Through a curated series of exclusive workshops and learning experiences, dancers will gain access to:

 

 Industry Insight & Mentorship

Intimate discussions and Q&A sessions with leading convention owners, faculty, and professional choreographers. Learn what adjudicators are really looking for, how to network with intention, and how to make a lasting impression in any class setting.

 

 Technique & Performance Training

Hands-on classes in jazz, tap, contemporary, and more — led by renowned faculty and guest artists — with a focus on refining execution, versatility, and stage presence.

 

 Professional Development

Receive guidance on audition etiquette, assistant and scholarship pathways, goal setting, and navigating the professional world of dance.

 

 Scholarship & Award Opportunities

Every workshop offers the chance to earn scholarships, prizes, and mentorship opportunities — with over $2,000 awarded at our debut session alone!

 

 Our debut workshop, Conquering Conventions, sold out for ages 8–12 and is already making a huge impact. We can’t wait to continue growing this series and helping our dancers chase their biggest dreams.

 

Interested dancers should keep an eye out for future Emerging Artist Series workshops throughout the season!
