The curriculum at Agape Dance Academy, developed by Conrad Useldinger, is rooted in the Vaganova method while incorporating elements from the Cecchetti and Bournonville styles, as well as the Royal Academy of Dance’s Character vocabulary. This comprehensive approach ensures that students gain a deep technical foundation and a broad stylistic fluency, preparing them for the diverse demands of the ballet world.

At Agape, students do more than master technique—they train to become artists. From their very first class in the Graded Program, Conrad emphasizes the development of presence and artistry, instilling in dancers the ability to bring emotion, storytelling, and individuality to their movement. Beyond steps and sequences, students are guided in the skills and professional etiquette necessary to work seamlessly with choreographers and thrive in a company or project setting.

Through their time at Agape, dancers will become familiar with every step they may encounter in a professional ballet company. More importantly, they will develop the artistry, discipline, and adaptability that set exceptional dancers apart.
