Classes are open to all dancers over 16 years of age (Dancers under 18 years of age will need to have a parent or guardian present to sign a waiver on their behalf). Prep Classes are essentially dance classes and include:

  • Brief Technique / Across the Floor
  • Dance Combo
  • Q&A session about auditions

A different combo will be taught at each prep class. The pace of each class is like the actual audition setting. Many dancers take ALL prep classes to practice picking up the DND style of choreography in a fast-paced environment. Individual prep classes cost $16 in advance or $20 at the door. Dancers interested in pre-registering for 10 or more classes receive a 10% discount and pay just $14.40/class!

Well, in the topsy turvy wacky world of indoor football this spring, the Raiders are no more, but Richmond has a new indoor football team in town, and Kelly is now the Director of the RoughRiders Dance Team. Great news! Information about the prep classes (December 15th) and auditions (January 7th) are included in the graphic above, and we were thrilled to feature Kelly, singing her praises, at this link, previously at UltimateCheerleaders.

Six-Week Intensive Training/Prep Classes in Atlanta

ZPP flyer2

Zakiya Alta Lee always had the gift to dance and never stops moving! This love for movement led to her acceptance into the prestigious Florida State University School of Visual Arts and Dance. After only 2 years at FSU, Zakiya was given a scholarship to train at the acclaimed Dance Theatre of Harlem in New York.

After receiving a BFA degree in dance and a minor in business Z was invited to join the NBA Atlanta Hawks dance team eventually becoming a team captain and coach for the Jr. Hawks dancers.

Z’s talents were soon noticed by the Atlanta community, and she was offered the opportunity to coach the Georgia Generals Cheerleaders (a Semi-Pro football team). Many of her ladies went on to cheer and dance for other professional dance companies and teams; most notably the Atlanta Falcons.
