Dance
CCM Prep offers dance opportunities for early childhood, youth, teens and adults. Classes include ballet and modern dance offerings for beginners and experienced dancers.
Students enrolled in ballet classes can also audition to join CCM Prep's ballet companies, which perform twice a year in the college's state-of-the-art performance venues.
Theatre Arts
CCM Prep's Theatre Arts programs offer classes and workshops that teach essential skills for students interested in musical theatre performance and acting for the stage and screen. Musical Theatre students receive instruction in acting, vocal music, dance and both audition and performance technique from CCM collegiate and Prep faculty.
