YOUTH ENSEMBLE

2024-2025 YOUTH ENSEMBLE

The Youth Ensemble (YE) program is designed for dancers between the ages of 12-18 providing technical training in Ballet, Modern and African-based techniques with repertory workshops led by Deeply Rooted artistic staff, company members, and guest choreographers. The full annual season consists of three terms: Fall, Winter, and Spring. This program provides performance opportunities such as community based shows and our final culminating performance to showcase their technical and artistic growth. Dancers must commit to the entire season to provide a consistent learning atmosphere.
