Half Day Professional
Half Day Professional Dance Training Program
The Professional Half Day Program at Perform Art Studios allows students to attend their regular high school until lunch time and then travel to Perform Art Studios to start their Dance training at 2:00pm! This is an exciting option for high school students who normally take 15-20 hours of Dance each week as they can complete their Dance earlier in the day and have time for homework, dinner at home and other activities! We also allow students the option of part time Half Day, where they can integrate 1-4 Half Days into their schedules!
Perform Art Studios was the first studio in North Vancouver to offer this option for our dancers and we are thrilled that the North Shore high schools have now implemented these alternative programs!

All Professional Half Day Program students have the opportunity to train and perform as a member of one of our youth companies and competitive groups, Dancers In Company, Elite Dancers In Company, Elite Hip Hop & Elite Contemporary. Our performance and competitive companies are based on a professional Dance company atmosphere, focusing on full stage productions and touring opportunities. The companies expose talented dancers to the “real world” of training, performing as part of a professional Dance company as well as working with guest choreographers and teachers. In the past, the companies have travelled to England, Paris, New York and local British Columbia.
