Under the direction of Mr. Kevin Grant, The Grant Training Program (GTP) is a premiere educational initiative that focuses on Ballet Technique.

GTP is a ballet based program that's meant to enhance a dancer's training whether the dancer is interested in a professional career with a Ballet Company, or to redefine their technical excellence as a Commercial or Company Dancer.  The program consists of an Intermediate & Advanced Program with two different tracks to choose from based on age and ability.  Classes en flat, en pointe, and a variations class are all available with the Grant Training Program.  Private lessons are also available to those who seek one-on-one attention with Mr. Kevin.  Select dancers who participate in GTP will also be eligible to participate in ballet competitions such as YAGP, WBC, IBC and more. You do not have to compete a ballet variation at all of these competitions; select dancers are eligible to compete just their contemporary solo at specific Ballet Competitions. Any student who wishes to compete at a Ballet Competition must first be approved by Mr. Kevin. Competing at a ballet competition is highly recommended for dancers who wish to pursue concert dance and/or professional ballet dance.

Previous dancers that have trained at GTP have thrived and gained entrance into prestigious programs such as School of American Ballet, Pacific Northwest Ballet, San Francisco Ballet, etc. They have also received top placements at YAGP, NYCDA, and the Dance Awards.

*You do not have to be a RAGEBOX Dancer to register for the Grant Training Program.*
