Elevated Pathways at SDD

At Stage Door Dance Productions, we recognize that many students may wish to heighten their dance education experience in a variety of ways. We believe in creating meaningful experiences that offer a strong return on investment. This will help our students in whatever path they wish to pursue, on stage or off.

Ranging from performance opportunities to leadership activation and engagement to philanthropic initiatives to travel experiences, there’s a way to cater our offerings to your dancer’s individual needs and goals.

The program includes:

• the Be More Performance Ensembles

• the Be More Ballet Company

• the Be More Travel Troupes

• the SDD Chapters of the National Honor Society for Dance Arts

• the Work Study Educational Leadership Program

Because we believe in promoting healthy over harmful dance education, we do not participate in the competitive dance industry. You can read more about this choice in the book Trash the Trophies: How to Win Without Losing Your Soul.

Beginning with the 2025-2026 Dance Season, we will offer a multiple pathway option for dancers ages 4+, which will include non-performance, performance, and travel opportunities.

• If you are a current student, pathway recommendations/packets will be released in late April 2025.
