Fierce Dance Company
Fierce Dance Company is Revolution's competition group. Fierce is a special acronym created by RDA's alumni, and our companies are based on each acronym and the colors of our studio. Company is reserved for elite dancers of all ages who must audition or be evaluated for placement. Placement is determined based on a dancer's age and level. Ruby Company is our introductory group, training a minimum of 5 hours per week. Pink, Teal, Onyx, Platinum, and Crystal Company train a minimum of 10 hours per week. Company competes both regionally and nationally, as well as represents RDA in the community at applicable events.
Preschool and Kinder Prep
Revolution’s Performing Arts Preschool and Kinder Prep is a holistic program that incorporates guided inquiry-based academic learning, curriculum centered around common core standards, and creative expression through music, dance and art. Children are unique in their learning styles and it is important to structure an environment that allows all students to thrive. When the arts are integrated into the curriculum, children have an invaluable experience to discover the complexities of the world in which they live. They develop thoughts and feelings that are unique, all the while being provided with structure that will prepare them for a successful education. As one of the finest preschools in Mesa, we strive to create an environment that allows each and every child to thrive, both now and throughout their education.
Families may select half day and full day schedules that best fit their needs, based on the program. RDA also offers before and after care options!
Pre Pro
Pre-Pro is RDA's academic program for students K-12 who either homeschool or choose alternative education/flexible schedules in order to train pre-professionally. Families have the autonomy of choosing their school through our Learning Coach, choosing to attend a full day or half day and tailoring the program to their needs. All RDA staff members working in this program have degrees, certifications, or are highly qualified in dance and education, and will provide quality mentorship and instruction to your student!
