This intensive program focuses on Ballet, African, and Hip Hop, while incorporating rigorous technical training in Modern, Contemporary, Jazz, Leaps, Jumps & Turns, Praise, Theater, and more.
Students receive comprehensive training that enhances technique, artistry, musicality, and performance skills. With a strong emphasis on discipline, endurance, and expression, dancers are challenged to push their limits and refine their craft in preparation for professional careers or collegiate-level training.
The program offers one-on-one mentorship, masterclasses with guest instructors, and exclusive performance opportunities to shape students into well-rounded artists. Dancers in the Conservatory Program are expected to uphold a high level of commitment, as the training is designed to prepare them for careers in the performing arts.
College students enrolled in the program have the opportunity to earn a certificate in dance, providing them with formal recognition of their training and skill development. Placement into the Conservatory Program is determined by MsJay, ensuring each student receives instruction aligned with their skill, work ethic, and growth potential. Students may attend the placement session on TBA, or request a placement by inquiry.
