Ballet
Our Competitive Ballet program is designed to develop the technique required of a professional dancer. Premiere Dance Academy has highly-trained Faculty members that teach and offer the Cecchetti, Royal Academy of Dance, and Vaganova Syllabi and techniques.
Our Ballet students also have the opportunity to take part in R.A.D. Ballet Examinations to pave their path to a future in dance.
Contemporary
Our Contemporary program offers a more modern avenue of dance that many of our students enjoy. Although Contemporary Dance has roots in Ballet, this style is more relaxed and allows the fusion of emotion to influence the movements.
Our Contemporary program requires students to be enrolled in Ballet as a prerequisite.
Jazz
Jazz has its roots in African dance, and was once considered a street dance that has now evolved into the technical genre it is today. Jazz is also closely intertwined with both Rhythm Tap and Broadway Tap, allowing dancers to engage in rhythmical footwork and creative combinations.
Our Faculty is expertly-trained to take dancers through the Al Gilbert, ADAPT, ISTD Jazz, CDTA, New York Style, and LA Style Syllabi.
Lyrical
