Pre-Professional Programs

Our Pre-Professional Programs are for students who want to take the next step in furthering their dance training and who are interested in extra performance opportunities outside of the end-of-year recital. 

These programs are designed to give students an immersive experience in all aspects of the dance world. Company dancers will attend competitions, help organize philanthropic events, participate in community performances, gain experience choreographing their own dances, and have opportunities to develop their leadership skills.  

Dancers are selected and placed into our Pre-Professional Programs through an audition process. 

What is a dance competition?

Dance competitions are weekend-long events where dancers from across the country come together to perform in front of a group of judges. Dancers are split into categories based on age, experience, and style. At All In, we believe that competitions are great learning experiences for dancers. Through competition, we can teach dancers how to be comfortable performing in high-pressure environments, winning or losing with grace, and much more.

What are dance conventions?

Dance conventions are dance competitions with additional educational opportunities. Conventions host workshops with experts in a variety of topics and are designed to give dancers exposure to different teachers. We believe that conventions are an important piece of furthering our dancer’s education.

Company

The All In Company Dancers are given the full pre-professional experience. Being a company dancer means committing to dance as the primary activity that teaches us how to be the best well-rounded human we can be.

We will produce high-quality performances, where our students learn how to perform and act professionally in the business.
