About the Program

Our Teen Dance Division is thoughtfully designed for students ages 13+ who are ready to deepen their artistic expression, develop strong technical foundations, and explore a variety of dance styles in a supportive, age-appropriate environment.

Whether students are brand new to dance or continuing from earlier training, our teen classes offer accelerated instruction in Ballet, Jazz, Tap, and Conditioning. Each class builds essential strength, coordination, flexibility, and confidence—while helping dancers connect to musicality and performance artistry.

In this division, students will benefit from structured class formats, goal-oriented progression, and the opportunity to participate in our twice-annual showcases. This is an ideal track for teens seeking a welcoming space to move, grow, and shine—regardless of previous experience.

A modest dress code and appropriate music/movement choices ensure a focused and respectful environment where all dancers can thrive.

Performances

Throughout the school year, students participate in Dance Showcases performed in Kat’s Artist Tree’s Theater. We look forward to celebrating all our students have learned in class and seeing them shine on stage! Performances are an exciting and valuable part of a student’s dance education. Participation is a mandatory part of the dance curriculum. 

In addition to Dance Showcases, our students have a unique opportunity to perform alongside Triad Performing Arts of Arizona, a partner non-profit organization of Kat’s Artist Tree. Triad performs two large scale productions locally each year. All dance students are invited and encouraged to audition! Visit www.TriadAZ.org to read about upcoming productions and sign up for audition notifications.
