Through a comprehensive dance curriculum, each summer program enriches the unique talents of aspiring young artists. Taught by our distinguished faculty, students will have the opportunity to improve their technique while cultivating their artistic voice.

Two cornerstone Atlanta dance organizations, Terminus Modern Ballet Theatre (TMBT) and Dance Canvas are partnering together to create CATALYST. A program that seeks to elevate the beauty, power, and reach of the ballet art form by supporting Black dance students as they advance towards professional careers. CATALYST provides talented Black dance students with high-level technical training, mentorship, and career development – all on a full merit-based scholarship.

TMBT’s Protégé Program is an open environment where emerging professional dancers are given the rare opportunity to flourish as individual artists, immersed in all aspects of dance performance. 

The Protégé Program serves as a unique avenue for dance artists to move from the academic ballet setting into the professional dance world. Protégés work alongside company members, and experience regular one on one coaching.  This program is devoted to advancing the classical ballet and contemporary dance skill set of emerging artists. They partake in the daily creative process, giving them the opportunity to work with accomplished choreographers in a myriad of dance styles, all to encourage further discovery of their individual artistic voices.
