Students in the Recreation Dance Program will have the opportunity to perform in our year-end recital, where they can celebrate their progress and share their hard work with family and friends.

Our Intensive Program is designed for dedicated dancers who are ready to challenge themselves, grow their skills, and take their training to the next level. This program brings together hardworking students who are passionate about dance and eager to continue developing their technique, performance quality, confidence, and artistry.
In addition to strengthening their technical foundation, dancers will have the opportunity to explore a variety of choreography, combinations, and performance styles. Students will learn an additional routine to be performed in our annual recital, giving them more opportunities to shine on stage and showcase their growth.
Dancers in the Intensive Program also participate in select competitions throughout the year, allowing them to gain valuable performance experience, build teamwork, receive feedback, and represent the studio in a positive and professional way.
Students are selected for this program based on work ethic, effort, attitude, commitment, and ability, as well as through an annual audition process. This program is ideal for dancers who are motivated, focused, and excited to push themselves while being part of a supportive and inspiring group of performers.
New this year, our Big Little Dance Buddies program is designed to help build connection, confidence, and community within our Intensive Program. Through this initiative, n
ew Intensive dancers will be paired with an experienced Intensive dancer who can help welcome them, encourage them, and support them as they become part of the team.
This program gives newer dancers someone to look up to while giving experienced dancers the opportunity to develop leadership, kindness, responsibility, and mentorship skills. It is a meaningful way to help dancers feel included, supported, and connected both in and out of the studio.
In addition to dancer pairings, we are excited to include more team-building opportunities throughout the season. These activities will help strengthen friendships, build trust, encourage teamwork, and create a positive team environment where dancers can grow together.
The Big Little Dance Buddies program is a wonderful way to celebrate mentorship, friendship, and the supportive studio community we are proud to create at Stoney Brook Dance Company.
