YDTP places focus on technical acumen in ballet, character, modern/contemporary, jazz, dance-making, and other dance forms to develop the whole dancer. Students between 7 and 19 can excel and flourish in a structured environment geared from beginner to advanced levels. Students are encouraged to take several classes per term to ensure a healthy experience and positive technical advancement. To enhance the learning experience, live piano accompaniment is provided for many ballet classes, allowing students to develop musicality and identify changes in rhythms, tempi, and dynamics.
