Conservatory Ballet Program

Students are invited, or selected through audition, to further their ballet studies in this program.  They attend at least two ballet classes per week (one is a conservatory level class) to refine their technique and strengthen legs and feet.  Class sizes are small for individual focus and attention.  Dancers must be at least 8 years old, with at least two years of study in order to be considered.
