PRE PROFESSIONAL PROGRAM

Pre Professional Program
Brochure
⇩ ⇩

 Designed for the student striving towards a professional dance career or just interested in expanded dance opportunities.
The Pre Professional Program focuses on additional choreography, training and travel performances outside of Winnipeg.

Students must be enrolled in the Shelley Shearer School of Dance full-time Invitational Program they were invited to.

We are currently working with schools in Manitoba such as Vincent Massey through the Sports & Arts Program, where our Pre Professional Program dancers have the ability to re-arrange their academic schedules to be able to dance with us during the daytime on weekdays in addition to all our invitational program classes on evenings and weekends. By training with us, our dancers are able to receive school credit and can therefore miss sports and arts classes such as gym, band, art, theatre and dance that are offered in academic schools.
