Harlen House Company Program
Harlen House of Dance Company is a two-tier program which requires a certain amount of instructional hours per week based on age, ability and commitment level. We strongly encourage our dancers to be well-rounded individuals who are able to maintain, and are committed to, both school and dance requirements. We are willing to work with dancers who have outside commitments such as sports, church, drill team, etc. We are dedicated in making all scheduling and commitment expectations for this season consistent and communicated in advance and appreciate the dedication in return if your dancer has an outside commitment.
Company Program Options
Core Company
Ages 7 & up
Core Company is for dancers ages 7 & up who compete at the highest level offered at each competition. These dancers take classes at a minimum of 3 days and 7.75+ hours per week. Core Company dancers are expected to maintain a strong core focus of their time and energy towards their training at the studio with minimal outside conflicts due to the amount of hours required per week.

HH’s Professional Training Program (PTP) is an advanced daytime program geared towards the pre-professional student striving for a career in the professional ballet world. The focus of this program will prepare your dancer for this career path by strengthening their foundation in classical technique with an emphasis on pointe work, enhancing their knowledge of classical repertoire as well as original contemporary choreography, modern,
character, private coaching, and classical ballet performances/competitions. In addition, your student will receive guidance and direction in the dance world, summer intensive application process, scholarship application assistance, resume building and a scheduled photo shoot to curate images for auditions/social media. Dancers will have access to physical therapists partnered with Harlen House who have an understanding and focus of athletes in dance, including injury prevention seminars, Pilates, Progressing Ballet Technique (PBT) and other forms of cross training. PTP is open to dancers ages 9-18. We require your dancer to have at least 2 years of ballet training to audition for the program.
​
As a PTP member, dancers are expected to train five to six days a week with ballet classes, rehearsals, private lessons to hone technical skills and prepare classical variations/contemporary solos. Dancers will take class four mornings of the week, Saturday, and Monday evening. Additional evening classes can be added for more training. Students can choose to work solely on the PTP side of Harlen House of Dance, or blend two or three of HH’s premier programs, PTP, Core Company, or Assemblé Ballet Company.
