Performance Lab

Performance Foundations: Summer Edition

A young girl in pink joggers and a black crop top balances in a one-handed handstand with one leg extended upward and the other bent, smiling confidently.

Looking to train, grow and get ahead? The Performance Lab is designed specifically for dancers in our Performance Program, as well as dancers who train moderately throughout the regular season (approximately 2–6 hours per week) and want to continue their training over the summer months.

This focused, technique-driven 4-day program is perfect for dancers looking to get a head start on the upcoming dance season while maintaining momentum in a structured and motivating environment.

Led by our passionate and experienced instructors, dancers will train daily in ballet, jazz, acro, lyrical and hip hop, supporting growth in confidence, strength, technique, and overall performance quality.

Offered in two age groups (Ages 7–10 and Ages 11+), the Performance Lab is ideal for dancers who want to continue developing as performers and return to the season feeling strong, prepared, and inspired.
