The Foundations Program is our newest offering for dancers ages 8-12 with a minumum of 2 years tap experience who are still building the skills needed for the Junior Ensemble. This is a training only program that emphasizes technique and musicality, helping young dancers grow confidently as they prepare for the next level. Auditions are not required for the Foundations Program; however, dancers who audition for the Junior Ensemble and are not accepted may be invited to join this program instead.

​

The Foundations Program will take place during the fall and winter terms only. Dancers do not need commit to both terms in order to participate in the program, but it is strongly recommended in order to maintain consistency in their training. Dancers must commit to (a) full term(s) and drop-ins will not be accepted. Terms are as follows:

​

• Term One: September- November

• Term Two: December- February

​

Dancers will work on tap technique, improvisation, music theory, history, and preparing to work with live music. This program will run under the direction of Houys Garabedian, with guest appearances and support from company director Juliana Kelly.

​

COST: $250 + HST/ term

​

Families with multiple siblings in The Rhythm Ensemble will be eligible for our sibling discount.
