Performance Driven Program For Emerging And Experienced Dancers Looking To Deepen Their Artistry and Develop Professionally.

SPECIAL NOTE

This 10 month commitment follows the public school calendar including statutory holidays. Because we want to ensure you have the best experience in the program, we are hosting a video application process vs an audition for the ASTC Method Pre-PRO program to get to know you more intimately.

The ASTC Method Pre-PRO experience is designed to expand your artistry, performance skills, and on-camera skills in a shoot environment with a dance video project.

You’ll be challenging your physicality with weekly training in alternative yoga, choreography, contemporary, and street dance techniques such as Popping and Animation.

Get ready to embrace all elements of the “Alternative Synergy'' working very closely with company director Amanda Spilinga and studio faculty.

You will get to learn how to approach new learning territories such as performance opportunities, choreography development, rehearsal process, and working on a production set. 

The program aims to reaffirm yourself as a highly productive and active artist to help you stand out, find new ways to express yourself, and hone in on your unique craft.

Dance Video Project 

Pre-PRO students will work towards a dance video project at the end of the season. The experience is designed to develop your on-camera skills in a team and high-paced rehearsal environment. Whether you want to professionally be in front of a camera or not, this added layer to developing your artistry will bring your performance to another level. 

Performance is a very important focus of the ASTC Method because we consider performance a core discipline of dance alongside choreography and technique. By learning through the practice of performance, you will learn to acknowledge, understand and embrace your own power in communicating your message to an audience while inspiring them with your authentic self expression. Our aim is that you will have fun in the process too.
