Groundworks offers young artists concert-based dance training with a competition element. Dancers train in classical ballet, modern, and jazz techniques. We are a technique-focused studio that exposes dancers to all styles including modern, contemporary and hip hop.

 

Director and company-owner Giovanni Allen received his early training at New York City’s Alvin Ailey American Dance Theater and American Ballet Theater. He created Groundworks Dance Company as a positive place for dancers to grow as people and artists. Now in its seventh season his dancers have received numerous awards, and many have gone on to pursue dance education after high school or professional careers.
