FDC Prep is a program designed for dancers seeking an exceptional dance education without the time or financial commitment of being on a competitive team. Our goal is to cultivate within each dancer a joy and love for dance while still working towards outstanding technique and performance.
FDCP bridges the gap between dancing recreationally and dancing competitively. While Prep dancers do not compete, there are still requirements in class hours and performances that each member of this program must adhere to if they wish to participate.

AGE GROUPS
Your dancer will be evaluated with the age group they would be in as of January 1st, 2026. For example, if your dancer is 5 at the time of the evaluation, but will be 6 by January 1st, they will attend the evaluation for the 6-8 age group.
DRESS CODE
Dancers need to wear all black dance clothes with their hair pulled back securely. They need to bring all dance shoes as well as a water bottle. Our dressing room will be open.
EVALUATION ASSESSMENT
The evaluation for ages 3-5 will consist of a Ballet, Jazz & Tap class. Evaluations for ages 6 & up will consist of Ballet, Jazz, Tap and Acrobatic technique, as well as a flexibility assessment.
Prep dancers will take ballet, tap, jazz & acro with the same focus on technique and performance that our competition dancers receive. Dancers are required to take ballet and highly encouraged to take all the other classes to help better prepare them for the competition requirements.
Dancers are required to wear a leotard (any color or style), skin-colored tights, and canvas ballet shoes that match the color of their tights. Dancers' hair should be pulled back into a low ballet bun.
