Intensive Program
Ages 10+
INTERMEDIATE & ADVANCED LEVELS
Our Intensive Program challenges students who exhibit a passion and dedication to the art of dance and are interested in striving to be the best they can be both on and off the dance floor. The supportive, non-competitive atmosphere at TDE has proven ideal for creating confident, caring and talented dancers who share great camaraderie, very often becoming life-long friends. Through dance, our students learn independence, responsibility, exceptional time management skills, and to reach beyond one's perceived limits while celebrating each other's accomplishments.
Class placement is determined by the number of continuous years of ballet study, and is at the discretion of the directors.

"At TDE, I learned numerous interpersonal skills, especially carrying myself with confidence, maintaining a strong work ethic, and managing time between dance, sports and academics. I acquired a great sense of leadership and learned to appreciate giving to others through dance." - Adrienne Saums, Class of 2019
