Pre-Professional Training

Performance Workshop Ensemble (PWE)

PWE is a free program created to give gifted and talented students the opportunity to gain performance experience and work with professional choreographers. In order to be invited into the program, a student must demonstrate an exceptional ability in dance, and make a total commitment to their course of training at SMAPA.

What does your dance future look like?

Many PWE graduates have gone on to become professional dancers and teachers. SMAPA has always believed in supporting talented young dancers—they are the future of the art!
