We are thrilled to announce the return of our Pre-Professional Day Program at Mainstage Academy of Dance for the 2024-2025 season. After a hiatus since the pre-COVID era, we are excited to once again offer a program specifically designed for dancers seeking to enhance their dance experience. Although we typically require a minimum number of participants to run this program, we have decided to proceed regardless of meeting this threshold in order to reestablish and grow the program. For aspiring young dancers. MSAD’s Pre-Professional Day Program is a unique and comprehensive system developed to train dancers to stand out in their mastery of ballet technique, personality and performance quality. What distinguishes MSAD from others is a commitment to small class sizes, providing personalized attention to each student, addressing their specific strengths, weaknesses, and goals. Our curriculum is designed to develop the whole dancer in preparation for a professional career in dance. The program provides instruction that is rooted in the Vaganova method, ensuring students receive authentic and expert training. The Vaganova approach’s emphasis on expressive movements and graceful lines will empower students to excel in performances, captivating audiences with their refined skills. Director Bray provides assessments, evaluations, and feedback sessions, students can clearly track their progress and understand areas for improvement, fostering a culture of continuous growth.
