The Academy Program is designed for dedicated students who are eager to refine their technique, develop their artistry, and strengthen their foundation in dance. This program offers structured, high-quality training in Ballet, Afro-Fusion/African, and Hip Hop, providing students with a well-rounded approach to movement and expression. In addition to these core disciplines, students will engage in a variety of technical studies, including Modern, Contemporary, Jazz, Leaps, Jumps & Turns, Praise, Theater, and more.

This program emphasizes discipline, creativity, and versatility, allowing students to explore different styles and gain confidence in their abilities.
Students interested in joining the Academy Program can attend the placement session on TBA, or request a placement date by inquiry. Placement is determined by MsJay and is based on technique, performance quality, and overall readiness for the program.
