New for the 2026-2027 season - Level Up with Synergy Dance!

As our dancers continue to grow and devleop, we are evolving our class structure to create a more intentional pathway for training and progression at every stage. Our new level system - ember, spark, ignite, elevate, and ascend - allows us to better align dancers by age, experience, readiness, and trainig goals, while ensuring each class provides the appropriate level of challenge and support.

This structure allows dancers to build strong foundations, develop confidence and artistry, and progress through levels that encourage continued growth. by creating clearer pathways for advancement, we can provide more focused instruction, create choreography that allows all dancers to shine, and support each dancer in reaching their individual potential while maintaining the positive and encourage environment that defines synergy dance company.

while each class has a recommended age range, placement is based on more than age alone. technical development, maturity, confidence, focus, and overall readiness are all considered to ensure each dancer is placed in the environment where they will thrive.
