I recently found out Peridance Capezio Center in New York City is launching a new pre-professional Certificate Program for serious dance students ages 17 to 28. It is more than a scheduled array of open classes. It basically works as an accelerated four-semester conservatory program to give students the skills and professionalism a dance career requires.
Students can choose a ballet/modern track, which resembles most dance conservatory programs, or a commercial track, for those pursuing a career in commercial dance or musical theater. The program requires a minimum of three classes per day, or 60 classes per month. Each student’s schedule is tailored to address their individual needs. All dancers get performance opportunities, conditioning, physical therapy, discounted or free Peridance workshops, master classes, studio space and personal mentoring from Peridance’s faculty.
