Junior Faculty Program
We are committed to building leaders within all our programs.
Our Junior Faculty & Front Desk Host Programs help students become leaders and develop real-world job skills. Many members of our Teaching Assistant Program go on to become full faculty members at the studio or pursue higher education in dance, early childhood education, child development & more!
We're happy to provide a program where these students can develop their dreams for the future while also providing them with job opportunities as they finish school.

Testimonials
We LOVE EDMC. My daughter has grown so much as a dancer and always enjoys her time at the studio. Miss Katie is a fantastic teacher/mentor and leads the ballet conservatory with grace and excellence. Miss Carina is absolutely wonderful and has encouraged and trained my daughter in her level 3 classes. I’m so excited for the years ahead!

Every single teacher and every class has been just wonderful. Right now L is loving her time with Miss Brittany...Both in smile squad and ballet. Miss Brittany is so positive and encouraging. H has so much fun with Miss. Shaylin. She's so sweet patient with the kids. L has also had the opportunity to be in a ballet performance through expressions with Miss Katie. She is so encouraging and kindhearted. It was a great experience for her. We love EDMC!
