Program Overview

The Dance Where You Are Performance Program is a structured rehearsal experience designed to build confidence, performance presence, and stage readiness. Each rehearsal is one hour and leads to a live performance in April.

Dancers may choose to rehearse with one, two, or three coaches, depending on how many weekly tracks they’d like to join. Every registered dancer receives an official DWYA Performance Program T-shirt.
