This track requires weekly training hours in various dance styles to ensure a well-rounded education. Consistent attendance is essential. Dancers study traditional techniques (ballet and jazz), rhythm styles (tap and hip hop), and expressive forms (lyrical/contemporary and musical theater). They are encouraged to step outside their comfort zones and master multiple styles, as versatility is highly valued today, preparing them for their future journeys.

In the Pre-Professional Track, dancers are placed by skill level rather than age. Participation in RDC’s competitive program is not required for this track, though "The Company" members will join these classes, with some exceptions for first-year members. Placement in the Pre-Professional Track is based on evaluations by RDC’s directors, following the Evaluation Policy, and may apply for one or more dance seasons.
