Special Programs
Production Cast
Ages (7+)
Placement auditions for ages 7+ are held in September for the Winter Showcase (December) and again in January for the Spring Production (April). Dancers are placed into age-appropriate groups and selected for specific performing roles. The cast meets once per week on Thursdays between 4:45–6:45 PM, with additional rehearsals scheduled as needed closer to each performance. This program is ideal for dancers who enjoy learning choreography, working as part of an ensemble, and participating in full-stage productions.

Ages (7-18)
The DTA Spotlight Team offers dancers additional performance and competitive opportunities throughout the season. This team participates in 1–3 local competitions and is open by placement audition or instructor invitation. Members learn and rehearse choreography during a dedicated weekly class and are required to enroll in Ballet + Jazz + one elective (Acro, Contemporary, or Tap). The Spotlight Team is designed for committed dancers who want to strengthen their technique, gain performance experience, and grow within a supportive environment.

(To be added when an instructor becomes available.) Aerial Dance introduces students to the artistry and athleticism of aerial silks. Dancers learn climbs, wraps, poses, drops, and sequences while developing core strength, flexibility, and spatial awareness. Safety, proper technique, and controlled movement are emphasized throughout training. The class meets once per week for ages 10–18 and concludes with an end-of-year parent showcase.
