EXCELLENCE IN DANCE EDUCATION
The Nevada Union Theatrical Dance program provides classical as well as contemporary dance training, performance opportunities, composition skills, and cultural as well as historical appreciation of dance as art. Daily classes are provided for beginning, intermediate, and advanced levels. Students train in ballet, modern, contemporary jazz, hip hop, and musical theatre. Students also receive conditioning classes in Pilates and yoga. We offer intermediate and advanced level after-school enrichment classes, free for all NU dance students, as well as community dance classes that are open to the public (ages 7 to adult). Students in all levels have opportunities to perform in multiple productions throughout the school year, working with professional guest choreographers from across the country.
