Over time, I have made the intentional decision to evolve Revolution Dance Company from a recreational-based program into a full professional training environment.
This decision comes from my passion for what I love most—training dancers who are serious about their growth, discipline, and future in dance. By making this shift, I am able to dedicate my time, energy, and expertise to dancers who are ready for consistent training, accountability, and professional-level expectations.
While every dancer has a place at Revolution Dance Company, our Company and Pre-Company programs are no longer recreational in nature. These programs are designed for dancers who want more—strong technical foundations, meaningful performance opportunities, and an environment that mirrors the standards of professional training.
This change allows RDC to focus on:
• Elevated technique and versatility
• Consistent, disciplined training
• Professional conduct and accountability
• Strong community representation
With this growth comes clear expectations for dancers and families, including attendance, conduct, sportsmanship, and commitment. These standards are in place to protect the integrity of our program and to create the best possible training experience for our dancers. All changed go into effect June 1st 2026.
I am incredibly excited for this next chapter of Revolution Dance Company and for the dancers who are ready to step into this level of training with focus, respect, and dedication.
Thank you for trusting me with your dancers and for continuing to support the evolution of RDC.
