Nova Cabaret
Classes and Productions
Nova Cabaret is a performance training program that creates opportunities for dancers who have graduated from the beginner sessions (or received instructor approval) and are ready to take their dance training to the stage. To be eligible you must be confident practicing and cleaning choreography on your own time, and feel confident in the foundations of that dance style.

Session Schedule Overview
Showcases & Performance Pathways
To support focus and sustainability in your practice and our productions, we recommend that NOVA dancers perform in up to two showcases per year, though we will no longer be enforcing this. Due to capacity of our venue space each production still must be limited to up to 40 people. If we receive more qualified applicants than we can accommodate then we will reduce the cast either by requiring that dancers be registered in 2 or more Nova classes that are in that show, or to ask someone who is working towards multiple productions to choose a focus. We'll do our best to communicate early and answer questions so you can plan ahead, which may mean committing to shows and classes farther in advance to guarantee a spot for you.
Dancers are welcome and encouraged to take Nova classes without performing in the show to deepen their training.
