This well-rounded curriculum will propel them forward through learning more advanced skills, practicing self-discipline, teamwork, performance quality and time-management.

Dancers participate in our IDC Winter Production, end of year Showcases, and travel to Disney parks every two years to experience specialty workshops in Orange County and Disney as well as perform on stage in the park. Dancers train in Ballet, Tap, Jazz, Precision Dance, Modern, Contemporary, and Acro, with a focus on conditioning and applied ballet technique with certified PBT instructors.
This innovative program was developed by Marie Walton-Mahon for students to understand the depth of training muscle memory in achieving their personal best in classical ballet. Dancers will learn to activate the correct muscles and strengthen their technique.
Activate, tone, and stretch using ballet based exercises. This Pilates-type training as part of our curriculum, will challenge you and give you a great workout to develop and tone your body. With the help of training equipment, you will strengthen your balance, flexibility, and muscle control.
