Expanding performances to reach global audiences, the arts streaming service Marquee T.V. and Terminus have partnered to stream their digital films on demand. Inherent in Terminus's core beliefs is making beautiful and inspiring dance an accessible part of our daily lives, and bringing the ballet art form out of the past and into the present through storytelling. All of our innovative and creative dance works explore contemporary themes, incorporates theatrical elements, and integrates digital technologies for the purpose of connecting people through the beauty, power, and humanity of dance.

Upon joining Regional Dance America (RDA) in 2021 and participating in their annual dance festival, the Terminus school has repeatedly received top honors and has distinguished itself as a top tier ballet institution in the United States. Making world class dance accessible to all as a core company value, the school has given over $180,000 in financial assistance and scholarships to its students ensuring financial need does not act as a barrier to a world class dance education and resulting professional opportunities. Terminus students excel both onstage and academically, regularly earning top academic honors while balancing a rigorous dance training schedule up to six days a week. Each year students are awarded scholarships and admission to the nations top dance schools and universities; including, USC's Glorya Kaufman School of Dance, School of American Ballet, Joffrey Ballet, the University of South Carolina, and the University of Georgia to name a few. In August 2022, Terminus School moved into its newly renovated 7,700 sq/ft home centrally located in lower Buckhead at the TULA Arts Center. This world class dance facility serves as the operational home of the school and professional company, and allows the organization to expand its service to the community through dance education classes, student scholarships, public performances and open community workshops.
