Throughout the year, students participate in performance events, including annual productions of The Nutcracker and Sleeping Beauty, and have access to intensive programs during breaks like the RAD 2/3 Intensive and Sr. Intensive. Summer offerings include specialized dance camps for younger dancers. The conservatory also provides pathways for dedicated students through auditions for external programs like the Joffrey Summer Intensive and conservatory trainee programs.
