A selective class for students who wish to take their performance training to the next level. With competitive and non competitive performance opportunities, these students will work as a team to create high quality routines.
Troupe
Once we receive your application form we will advise via email whether your child has successfully received a position in one of our 2024 troupes and what age group they will be a part of. If your child hasn't been a member of our troupes before we may ask for an in person audition to see where they would be best placed.
