Apprentice Corporation

Apprentice Corporation

The Apprentice Corporation is a co-ed intensive training program that cultivates dance and leadership skills in teens ages 13-18.

This intensive training program encourages teens to respond to current events in their communities through the art of dance. Activities encourage resilience, positive self-identity, and the competencies needed to thrive in high school, college, and beyond.
