Supplemental dance training for serious dancers
A training program for serious dancers ages 9–18, designed to be added on top of a primary studio, not instead of it. One teacher. One Program. One-year plan per dancer.
Not a school.
Parallel coaching.
The Dance Lab is a supplemental training program designed to be added on top of your dancer’s primary studio.
We don’t replace the studio your dancer already loves. We complement it. The dancer keeps their recital, their competition team, and their studio friends. They come here for the technical depth, the conditioning, and the audition-cycle coaching that a multi-genre studio doesn’t have the schedule to deliver.
Twenty dancers across two leveled tracks. Saturdays, mornings, and a small set of varying private lesson windows, designed to fit around what she’s already doing, never against it.
Two tracks. Same monthly investment. Different developmental focus.

Age ranges are estimates. Dancers may enter or move between Tracks based on ability and progress at the discretion of the coach. Three payment options: pay annually, pay monthly across the program year, or spread payments across all twelve months. Same total either way.
How enrollment works.
Enrollment is open — no audition, no waiting on a decision. We cap the cohort at 20 dancers so every one of them gets real coaching time. Once it’s full, new families join the waitlist.
Create your account
Enter your details and your dancer's. It takes about two minutes, and it's the same account you'll use to see the schedule and progress reports.
Choose a payment schedule
Pay in full, ten monthly payments, or twelve. The same annual tuition either way, plus a one-time registration fee per dancer.
Start dancing
Jessica places every dancer in the Junior or Senior track after enrollment. Programming begins the second week of August.
Jessica Turner
Jessica Turner trained in classical ballet on a pre-professional track, studying with Auburn Ballet School, Alabama Dance Theatre, American Ballet Theatre, and Joffrey Ballet. She began teaching while still in college and has spent more than 20 years working with dancers as a studio owner, ballet teacher, and producer of multiple Nutcracker productions.
Over the years, she has learned that no two dancers are the same. What Jessica does best is see the individual dancer, their strengths, their artistry, and the potential that may not have fully surfaced yet. She doesn’t teach dancers as a group; she teaches the dancer standing in front of her.
Questions parents are asking.
No. The program is designed specifically to fit alongside primary studio commitments. We will not accept a dancer whose primary studio relationship is in poor standing.
Because that’s the primary studio’s territory. We run an annual Studio Showing instead, informal, in-studio, no costumes, families welcome.
Annual commitment language lives in the handbook. We expect attendance at all required Saturday Company classes and scheduled privates.
Yes. Conditioning Barre is open to public.
Three: pay the full annual at enrollment ($3,950), pay monthly across the program year ($395 / mo, August–May), or spread evenly across all twelve months ($329 / mo, year-round). Same annual total in every case.
Twenty dancers. One teacher. Year-round.
Enrollment for the 2026–27 season is open. Twenty spots, first come, first served.
