CMI Kidz
CMI Kidz program is continually growing. This is the second season that CMI has been invited to direct the Junior Wizards Dance Team. Young dancers between the ages of 8-12 can audition to perform on the NBA court at 12 home games during the 2008-2009 season.
*Details about Junior Wizards auditions posted below.

Another opportunity for youth of all ages is to perform in the annual dance concert, “The Capitol Movement Project” (CMP). Once dancers are in the cast, they train in our company classes at reduced rates and are pushed as professionals for the concert and other performances. CMI Kidz has the opportunity to dance with all other ages ranging between 4-43 and have many mentors at their disposal.

CMI also offers intense summer training in the form of camps, conventions and workshops. Our kids have performed for Diddy, the Congressional Black Caucus, NBA Fans, in TV pilots, and who knows what is next?
