goals of our studio

We provide a warm and inviting environment for young dancers of any age, skill and experience level to come in and study the art form in whatever discipline they choose. The company experience is available, by audition, for dancers who wish to take their training to an elite level. The lessons young people learn in dance class are applicable, and even of great importance, in all of life’s journeys including, discipline, consistency, hard work and the results that come from follow through and commitment.  We pride ourselves on the cultivation of great young artists, but also well rounded human beings who contribute to society in a positive way.

Quote from a Current Company Member

“In my fourth year with Extensions, I’m proud to say it has become my home away from home. My heart is so happy knowing I belong to an amazing family of dancers. Under the extraordinary instruction of the Extensions faculty members, my dancing has been taken to a new level, technically and artistically. The supportive environment encourages me to take risks and be fearless in my exploration of movement. In class, I feel challenged, inspired and motivated to do my best work.” — Camille Freedman, Company member
