In the Shine Program your dancer (age 11-teen) is blossoming into a confident
dancer and young lady. She often owns the stage with fierceness as she relies on
her skills she has worked so hard to develop. She feels a sense of belonging with
her dance besties. Under the guidance of their dedicated instructors, these
dancers influence each other to be their best. They have fun, work hard, commit,
and to truly SHINE.
The Shine Core Program is divided into levels based off of age, experience, and
skill level. Students may start at any time within this program but must show
mastery of their level before promotion to the next. With regular attendance, your
child will thrive and should be able to progress from one level to the next each
year.

complex choreography is introduced and mastered and memory retention is
increased. Dancers explore different styles of jazz including jazz funk, lyrical jazz,
and classical jazz. Choreography is challenging and encourages dancers to grow.

Portraying feelings and story telling is explored and understood by Shine Dancers
who are ready for this emotional outlet in their lives. They learn to “leave it on the
dance floor”.
