Dance Academy (Ages 4 -18)

Sept. 8 - Dec. 14, 2025 | Free

The Dance Academy is designed for students with previous dance experience. Participants train in the fundamentals of ballet and modern dance, floor work, creative improvisation, performance development, choreography and composition skills.

Once students are grouped by skill level during placement auditions, they will receive a specific weekly schedule based on their level. Rehearsals take place on select weeknights and Saturdays, culminating in a final performance at the end of the semester. Students will receive further information upon registration.

Registration information will be sent out after placement auditions. Email creativeartsacademy@tri-c.edu or call 216-987-6145 for more information.
