ADVANCED PRE-PROFESSIONAL DIVISION

We offer three levels of pre-professional: Advanced I, Advanced II, Advanced III. You will be placed in the appropriate level based on your previous dance experience and audition evaluation.

 

Students will be evaluated by the following factors:

 

Natural physical attributes inclusive of, but not limited to, flexibility, coordination, body proportion, arch of the foot, line of the leg, muscle strength, stamina, jump, and turnout. General musicality. Focus, discipline, and the ability to learn and adapt quickly. The level of personal commitment. This includes drive, desire, and passion for the art form and a review of student's attendance record. Students in this division are training for professional performing careers in Classical Ballet, Classical Modern and Contemporary. In this program, we offer comprehensive conferences with every student in order to prepare them for college as well as professional careers in dance.
