The Rage Box Educational Program offers classes for all ages. Four separate divisions provides students with differing abilities and interests, multi-leveled and developmental training.

Our Preschool Program offers a sequential curriculum in dance for a young child age 2-4 years old. Class offerings include Creative Movement for age 2; Predance for ages 3 & 4; Movin’ and Groovin’ hip hop class for ages 3 & 4. The program provides a preschooler the opportunity to explore the different forms of dance as well as explore the arts as they relate to each other.

The Division 1 Program provides dance education to the beginner level student age 5-18, who can enjoy dance in a variety of disciplines without the commitment of being on a competition team. Class offerings include Ballet, Jazz, Tap, Musical Theatre and Hip Hop to give the students a complete understanding of the diverse dance community.

The Division 2 Competitive Program provides a dancer age 7-18 the opportunity to participate on a competition team via acceptance into the program by audition. Dancers in our Competitive program will train in Ballet, Jazz, and Contemporary, as well as have the opportunity to be in a Hip Hop Crew or a Noise Tap Company. Division 2 Dancers participate in 2 competitions per year and the recital in June. They also have the opportunity to attend conventions during the year. It is recommended a dancer interested in auditioning for the Division 2 Program should have a minimum of 1-3 years of prior dance experience, or have received a recommendation from the Rage Box Faculty.

The Division 3 Pre-Professional Division provides a dancer age 7-18 the opportunity to focus their training on the future that is geared towards a career in dance. These dancers train in Ballet, Jazz, and Contemporary, along with the opportunity to be in a Hip Hop Crew or A Noise Tap Company. They attend a minimum of 5 competition/conventions a year, the recital in June, and engross themselves into a more vigorous weekly training cycle with the main goal and focus being on their future beyond the dance studio. Placement is by audition only. For dancers with 3+ years of dance training or by the recommendation of The Rage Box Faculty.

“We are a ‘Work in Progress’ ... Because dance is always evolving, people are always changing, and art is always deserving of love and effort.”
