This dynamic class will challenge and inspire students with choreography in the style of a real onboard production, giving them a taste of what it’s like to perform on a professional stage at sea.

After the class, dancers will take part in an exclusive Q&A session, where they’ll get to ask questions and hear firsthand about life as a cruise ship dancer. From audition tips to life onboard and performance prep, this behind-the-scenes glimpse into a professional dance career is both educational and motivational—a true highlight of the performance cruise experience.

EXCURSIONS

Share the Adventure

Arranging group excursions for your dance families is a great way to keep the studio connected and create shared memories beyond the performance. Whether it's snorkeling in the Caribbean, exploring ancient ruins, or enjoying a relaxing beach day, group outings give dancers, parents, and siblings a chance to bond in a fun, low-pressure setting.

These shared adventures also make planning easier for families—no need to research activities or navigate logistics alone. Group excursions often come with special pricing, private guides, and transportation, creating a seamless, stress-free experience that adds even more value to the trip.
