About Our Dance Program

   Coral Reef Magnet Dance provides our dancers a rigorous dance program designed to produce well-rounded dance professionals in a high school setting. We focus on various dance techniques such as ballet, contemporary, jazz, and modern. Our curriculum is performance base.  We provide our dancers with distinguished guest dance teachers, alumni and choreographers, fieldtrips to experience dance intensives such as the Sarasota Cuban Ballet School, and attend live performances by local and national professional dance companies. We have after school extra curriculum dance team programs such as our Cudettes Dance Team, Dance Alliance and Ballet Company.  


We are family.  We are a community of dancers, parents, teachers and alumni who support one another to make our dance program a successful one.
