Dance Project: The School

🌟 Meet our May Dancer of the Month, Catherine Payne! 🌟

Catherine has been with Dance Project for many years and has been a part of our Performance Company community since the very beginning. Her dedication to her training and her steady presence in the studio have made her such a meaningful part of our space. ✨

As an adult dancer, Catherine continues to bring focus, commitment, and artistry into every class she takes. We’re so grateful for the role she plays in shaping the spirit of our Performance Company community. 💛💚

Technique Clinics are part of our Summer Dance Opportunities ✨ Is your dancer ready to level up this summer? Our Technique Clinics give young movers a full week to grow, explore new styles, and dig deeper into their craft in a supportive, growth oriented environment 💛💚 Through choreographic study and exposure to both current and historical work, your dancer will be challenged and inspired all week long. Open to all levels, with previous dance experience highly suggested.
📅 Jr Technique Clinic (Ages 8–12)
July 13–17 ⏰ 1:00 PM – 5:00 PM
📅 Teen Technique Clinic (Ages 12–18)
August 3–7 ⏰ 11:30 AM – 3:30 PM
Registration is now open. We’d love to see your dancer in the studio this summer 🤍

Summer just got a whole lot more fun! ☀️🩰 Our Dance Sampler Camp is back and it’s the perfect intro for our youngest dancers (ages 5 to 7) to explore the world of dance. Throughout the week, campers will sample Ballet, Tap, Jazz, Hip Hop, and Modern in a beginner friendly, joy filled environment.
✨ July 27 to 31
✨ Mornings, 9am to 12:30pm

Meet Eli Motley 🎨 this month’s Find Your People feature.
Artist. Educator. Elon professor. Monday night hip hop teacher at Dance Project. Plus he just led our last two Maker’s Space sessions on April 15 and 25 🙌
Eli’s approach to movement? Curiosity, versatility, and connection. From breaking to house to contemporary, he moves between worlds with intention and heart.
Now he’s building something new 👀 Dance Chance launches May 1. It’s an informal showing where artists share work in progress. Here’s the twist: the only way to get on the list to show next time is to show up this time. Community first, always.

We’re so lucky to have you, Eli 🫶
