Skills Week Workshops



Take your dance training further with our Skills Week Workshops! These 3-day evening workshops are perfect for dancers ages 9 and up who are ready to refine specific aspects of their technique in a focused, fun, and supportive environment.

Mastering foundational dance skills is essential for every dancer’s growth and progression. Turns and flexibility are two of the most crucial elements in building strong, versatile dancers. Precision and control in turns enhance balance, coordination, and stage presence, while flexibility improves strength, range of motion, and the ability to create stunning lines and extensions. By focusing on these two key areas, our Skills Week Workshops provide dancers with the tools they need to excel in their training and take their performance to the next level.


Workshop Themes:

  • Week 1: Turns (July 21-July 24)

Learn the secrets of clean, consistent turns. This workshop focuses on technique, core strength, spotting, and balance to help dancers achieve their best pirouettes and beyond.

  • Week 2: Flexibility (July 28 –July 31)

Stretch further with targeted flexibility training! Dancers will improve strength and control while working on splits, extensions, and overall range of motion.

What are your tuition policies?

We offer 3 payment plans: monthly, semesterly, and yearly. The first and last months of tuition are due at the time of registration. For Conservatory dancers, 30 days of notice must be given to withdraw from the program and tuition must be paid for the full 30 days before the financial agreement is absolved in lieu of paying the first and last months at the time of registration (due to the higher tuition rates). Tuition can be paid by dropping a check into the lockbox at the studio or signing up for auto-pay with your credit card (subject to 3.5% convenience fee). There is a $25 late fee for any payments more than 10 days late. 

Are parents required to stay?

As long as children are toilet-trained, parents are not required to stay during their child's classes. However, we would be pleased to welcome you in our lobby or cafeteria spaces with free wifi!

What are the performance opportunities?

Prima is proud to provide two high-quality performance opportunities per year to our students. Every student can audition in August to participate in The Nutcracker in December. In lieu of a recital, we do a Spring Ballet each year that all students can elect to participate in.
