Our programs have helped launch the journeys of highly motivated dancers into pre-professional and professional careers with some of the world’s most prestigious dance schools and companies.

Recognized as one of the premier ballet training schools in South Carolina, Coastal Dance Centre is proud to be ranked among the Top 5% of more than 900 ballet academies in the United States. The distinction reflects our unwavering commitment to technical excellence, artistic development, and student success. Coastal Dance Centre is also home to the Coastal Youth Ballet Theatre (CYBT), its official performing company, which offers exceptional performance and pre-professional opportunities to dedicated young dancers.

Coastal Dance Centre and CYBT are proud to support dancers who strive for excellence and are committed to their artistic journey.

Why Choose Coastal Dance Centre’s Summer Intensives?
Coastal Dance Centre’s Summer Intensive Program is designed to offer focused, high-level training that supports each dancer’s ongoing development.

Our goals for the program include:

• Technical and Artistic Growth
To challenge dancers through intensive classical ballet training, strongly emphasizing refining technique, developing artistry, and building strength and discipline in preparation for the upcoming dance year.

• Comprehensive Training Curriculum
The program includes classes in Ballet Technique, Pointe (for Intermediate and Advanced students), Variations, Repertoire, and Stretch & Conditioning—ensuring a well-rounded approach to each dancer’s progress.

• Pathway to Advanced Programs & Performance Opportunities
Summer Intensive participation serves as a pathway for students aspiring to join Coastal Dance Centre’s Conservatory, Elite Conservatory Program, Competition Program, and the CYBT Performing Company Program. Intermediate/Advanced dancers will have the opportunity to learn variations and ensemble choreography while being observed for potential casting in CYBT’s The Nutcracker 2026 production.

Uniform and Dress Code

All Coastal Dance Centre dance classes have a specified uniform attire. Parents/guardians must purchase the required leotards with the Coastal Dance Centre logo at the Front Office. It is important for students to abide by a dress code policy for the following reasons:

● A neat and tidy appearance sets an attitude of attentiveness and respect for students, teachers, and the art of dance.
● Teachers must be able to see the dancer’s body outline clearly in order to make proper corrections on posture, alignment, etc.
● A uniform ensures that the dancer’s clothing is not a distraction during class which helps to keep the dancer more engaged.
● No costumes are allowed in class unless a dress-up day is announced by the teachers.
● Only small stud earrings are allowed; no loose nor dangling earrings; no necklaces nor bracelets.
● Hair must be properly secured and tied up off of the face and neck for all styles of dance.
            GIRLS: Hair must be pulled back out of eyes into a neat and secure bun and secured tightly
with a hair net and bobby pins. Ponytails are acceptable in jazz and tap classes.
            BOYS: Hair groomed and kept neatly out of the eyes.
● Older students are required to wear the proper undergarments (dance trunks, dance bras or
camisole-style leotards, dance belts) with the appropriate clothing designated for the class.
● No warm-up shirts, skirts, leg warmers, sweatpants, or shorts may be worn during class unless
prior approval is obtained from the teacher.
● When coming to and going from the studio, all students must wear outer clothing, i.e., pants, skirt,
sweater, over their dance attire.
● No dance shoes are to be worn outside of the studio under any condition.
● All clothing and shoes must be marked with the student’s full name.
