MOVE. INTELLIGENTLY.
The official school of Dissonance Dance Theatre, DC’s Only African-American managed, and nationally-recognized contemporary ballet.
Serving over 200 students annually since 2014, The Ngoma School is emerging as a Washington, DC area dance-school destination for students interested in a professional concert dance career.
Currently serving students as young as 7 years old, to young adults who received a late start to their professional dance training. Dance classes, workshops, masterclasses, and auditions are facilitated at Univ of Maryland College Park.
We offer two school-year programs: The Academy & The Early Steps Programs. The Academy launched in Fall 2019 and encompasses levels I, II, III. Early Steps program is a flexible program for students needing flexibility with schedule and our activity schedules; classes only provide beginning hip-hop, jazz, and ballet. We also have our summer program, Summer DanceLab, and our trainee program.
We provide pre-professional dance training that informs and encourages the pursuit of a post-secondary education, healthy living, mentorship, self-care, and life skill mastery.
The Ngoma School offers programs for students with different levels of ability. School year programs include the highest quality of instruction in ballet, modern, jazz, hip-hop technique, and other elective.
