ELECTRIC YOUTH, PULSE & SYNCRO TROUPES​

All Dance Zone Troupes dance a mandatory 5.5 hrs per week, for a 32 week session.

Our Basic Troupe program includes 2 hours of Jazz/Lyrical, 1 hour of Tap, 1 hour of Ballet and 1.5 hours of Elevate, a class that focuses on technique, stretching, turning, etc.

Programs such as Hip Hop, Contemporary/Modern, Stretch & Strength and Acro are highly encouraged on top of their basic troupe classes, however not mandatory.
