THE ISLE OF ATHENA INTENSIVE
Thank you to everyone who showed up and showed out for our first-ever sold-out intensive!
We were blown away by the number of dancers who came in from Austin, San Antonio, and Houston — beautiful reminder that dance and community stretch far beyond our little island!
Huge thank you to Joseph ‘Asi for coming back to share your artistry with us — it's always a gift to learn from you! Keep an eye out for the remaining June classes with our directors Kylah Kuura and Darius Brechoun.
Season 9 auditions (August 23rd & 30th) are right around the corner! Be sure to follow us to stay up-to-date on prep classes, clinics, and all audition details.

“Team Athena has been the team that set the standard for me. As someone who wants to be a professional dancer, this team has taught me discipline, resilience, and community amongst amazing women.
I’m so incredibly blessed to have sisterhood on this team. Joining Season 5, I feel like I fell right into my dance family. Kylah and Darius have been the best sisters/friends/mentors all in one. I’ve met my best friend through this team, experienced being 3x [World of Dance] Champs, and a family that sees me.
Not only do I feel like I’ve grown as a dancer and leader, but also as a human being and how I carry myself as a person. Team Athena is the place to be!! With hard work and discipline, your goals can be achieved.”

“Athena has been my home in this country for the past three years. I cannot express enough how grateful I am with all the girls in the room. Being on athena, it helps you grow not only as a dancer but as a person. Athena is not a game to play though! It’s about being disciplined and locked in.”

“Athena has made me an incredible dancer, who believes in herself [and] always wants to give more of [myself]. Most importantly, Athena has [taught] me that no matter what, I can do it. I know i was born to dance, but thanks to Athena, I want to work for it. This team is the best thing that ever happened to me. “
