Created in 2015, under the direction of Teddy Talbot and Luke Stockton, TAME fosters beginner through advanced ballet, jazz, modern, tap, pointe, hip-hop and contemporary programs for dancers ages 6-18 years old. TAME instructors also mentor their student body interested in higher education and professional careers in the arts. While TAME offers the opportunity for select students to work in a competitive company, their goal is not only to win awards, but more importantly to create artists. The performance opportunities offered cultivate the students' technique as well as cultivate what they, as individuals, have to express as movement artists. TAME's goal is to aid dedicated, passionate youth into becoming hardworking, responsible adults, through the practice of discipline and respect in the studio. With exceptional classes, various performance opportunities and exposure to renowned instructors, choreographers, and working professionals, TAME students have access to what is needed to excel as professionals in the dance world, from concert to commercial work.
