Pizazz Dance Academy is proud to include the American Ballet Theatre® National Training Curriculum, a breakthrough 9 level program that combines high quality artistic training with the pillars of dancer health and child development. The ABT® National Training Curriculum consists of a comprehensive set of age-appropriate, outcome-based guidelines to provide the highest quality ballet training to dance students of all ages and skill levels.  Under the direction of ABT Artistic Director Kevin McKenzie, ABT’s National Training Curriculum was designed and written by Franco De Vita and Raymond Lukens in collaboration with ABT’s Artistic Advisors and the Medical Advisory Board. 

At Pizazz, our Pre-Primary through Level Three classes will be taught by ABT® Certified Teachers Cara Wallace and Maddie Spruill, who have successfully completed the ABT® Teacher Training Program in Pre-Primary through Level Three of the ABT® National Training Curriculum.  Levels One through Seven and Partnering will be taught by ABT® Certified Teacher Renee Nicholson, who has successfully completed the ABT® Teacher Training Program in Pre-Primary through Level Seven and Partnering of the ABT® National Training Curriculum.
