Dedicated Ballet Program

This program is designed for the serious dancer, preparing them for a pre-professional dance career. This program offers a rigorous and nurturing environment where aspiring dancers can cultivate their talents, deepen their understanding of ballet technique and artistry, and pursue their passion for dance with dedication and purpose. All of our ballet programs are based on the curriculum of the Vaganova Method of Classical Ballet (Russian).
