Our Dance Department is where students can learn the discipline of dance in a relaxed, encouraging, and motivating environment, at their own pace. Your beginner student will feel welcomed, and your intermediate or advanced student will be challenged. Most importantly, students will learn to love all kinds of dance!

Internships Available!
At illuminate, we put internships at the forefront of our company. We believe that our students have been blessed with talents which we hope to help them discover and nurture. In the Acting Department, it is possible for a student to work their way up to being the Director of a large class or production, if they have gone through the steps provided! We want our students to dream big while discovering where their passions lie.
