Tyler Junior College is home to a dance company that focuses on ballet and other classical forms of dance. Teachers and coaches include former Radio City Rockettes and prima ballerinas. Many students perform in yearly theatrical dance events as well as compete throughout the school year.
Instead of traditional auditions, Tyler simply has an enrollment quota—register early to guarantee your spot. Auditions are then held in the autumn for their annual production of "The Nutcracker". Their largest dance team to date is 116 participants.
