race academy

RACE Academy is a pre-professional training program for students 14-17 years of age. Dancers engage in four hours of training each week per semester, and are exposed to many genres of dance, including but not limited to ballet, contemporary, hip hop, jazz and tap. They are taught by world-renowned dancers, RACE Company members, and have access to classes at RACE the Space throughout the year.

Academy Dancers also gain experience in integral industry skills such as mock interviews & auditions, resume building, and collaborative partnership opportunities the prepare them for professional work and/or college dance programs.

Performance opportunities for the Academy include RACE’s Hip Hop Nutcracker, the annual Academy Show, and other performance opportunities as they become available. RACE Academy is an integral part of our overall mission and we are committed to the underlying importance of training our future generations while developing a passion to be a part of the growing dance industry in Oklahoma.
