In exchange for the increased commitment level, students receive a reduced class rate of $65/month due on the 15th of each month and will be provided one costume piece for each choreography learned and performed. New intakes in January, June, September and November. Regardless of intake date, once registered, the student is committed to performing with the crew until the end of May. Contact us via email at cannedheatdanceco@gmail.com for more information or to discuss enrollment.
Pre-Professional Program
Sundays in Studio 1 at WAPA (#5 - 3948 Quadra St) 6:30 - 8:30 PM
This is a 16-week production focused, intensive program for dancers of all levels who want to pursue a career in the entertainment industry or who want to advance their skills more quickly than is possible in traditional adult dance class formats. Students will be separated into three groups within class (1-beginner, 2-intermediate, and 3-advanced) and each student will be provided weekly individualized feedback and exercises to help them improve.
The program includes a main role in a production performance and one on one coaching (i.e. audition material review, choreography help, and more detailed training plans based on individual goals). Classes will generally feature 30 minutes of dancer specific conditioning, 30 minutes of technique drills, 45 minutes of choreography, and a 15 minute cool down. A student assessment will be conducted in weeks 1 and 16 and provided to students for them to see their progress over the course of the program.
This program runs in 4-month increments with intakes in January, May, and September.
Welcome to the dance company without costume fees!
