COMMITMENT TRACKS

CDA’s Commitment Tracks contain guidelines designed to assist families in determining the proper class load and components to help each student reach their stated goals. We feel strongly that dance should be accessible to all ages and technical levels, yet remain committed to offering the level and caliber of training that will enable dancers to join the professional ranks if desired. Due to the increased cost of pursuing that goal, we offer discounts to help ensure that our families can participate.

Please note: Minimum class requirements for each Track are dependent upon students’ assigned Placement Level. Please see the Class Requirements & Tuition sheet for details.

Recreational Track

This option has no class requirements, but very limited performance opportunities.

This is great for students who are interested in taking class for fun, exercise, supplemental dance education, or as a PE requirement, but are not interested in performing.

Focused Track

10% tuition discount

Dancers take a prescribed number of Ballet, Contemporary/Modern and other dance styles in order to benefit from more regular training.  Increased performing opportunities.

This is great for students who wish to get more from their dance training and enjoy performing.  California Dance Ensemble members are required to be on the Focused Track or higher, and may have additional opportunities throughout the season to perform in the Los Angeles area.

Aspirational Track

18% tuition discount

Aspiring Dancers have expressed an interest in making maximum progress in their dance training. They take a significant number of classes each week in Ballet as well as Contemporary/Modern and other alternate styles and pointe (when appropriate). Participation in The Nutcracker and Spring Showcase is required. Dancers may also wish to participate in California Dance Ensemble or Junior Ensemble, and may be invited to perform a solo at YAGP or similar competition.

This is great for students interested in professional dance careers or college dance programs and national scholarships.
