LET'S NOT CONFUSE THE MOMS RECREATIONAL CLASS WITH THE PERFORMANCE TEAM. THE MOMS TAKE RECREATIONAL CLASSES THAT ARE MEANT FOR THEIR SKILL AND ENJOYMENT. In other words, the class won't push them as much as the teens and young adults get pushed.
Leyenda Dance Company welcomes young ADULTS THAT ARE INTERESTED IN LEARNING Ballet Folklorico. (Ages up to 30 years old) for the performing dance team that dances in the red carpet galas and Theaters. A young adult is welcome to come take a class to see how they keep up with the pace of performing arts team. Then, qualification is through the directors decision.
These young adults aspiring for the teen-college age performance team need to be in shape and physically fit to follow the 2.5 hour non-stop cardio class content. LEYENDA trains for high end shows and aims for great performanship. We have parents that have successfully trained here. Give it a try. They have done GREAT! If you are slim and can handle 3 hours cardio come and be part of this training. Our group is not a recreational group. Teens and young adults train to dance in shows in a fast paced environment. We think that the right individuals would enjoy very much being part of a serious team and enjoy the challenge. Also. Members must live close to the studio. 25 mile radius from studio is best. This ensures that students can participate dancing in the shows and the classes with consistency and reliability.
LEYENDA DANCE COMPANY reserves the right to mix dancers from different levels or age in a case by case basis for example to prepare for large shows in which all levels are going to perform or in the transition or a dancer to a new level. Approved by Director only.
These are the ""ACADEMY"" classes we offer at the moment.

NOTE: The performance team and International team are separate programs. EMAIL us if you are interested in auditioning for our highest level programs. Enjoy the benefits of performing in the finest events, red carpet galas, performing arts international tours, etc
