Day Pro Ballet Program (Ages 10–14)

Morning Training Track | Placement by Audition

The Day Pro Ballet Program is a highly structured, professional training program designed for serious and dedicated dancers ages 10–14 who are homeschooled or follow flexible academic schedules and train consistently in the morning hours throughout the full school year.

This program is one of the most detailed and advanced training pathways in the school, created for students who are fully committed to classical ballet and long-term technical and artistic development. It offers a conservatory-style environment with a consistent year-long structure, allowing for steady, disciplined, and measurable progress over time.

Rooted in the Vaganova method, Day Pro emphasizes precision, strength, musicality, and artistic refinement at a professional standard. Training is highly detailed and progressive, with continuous correction, individualized attention, and clear technical expectations in every class.

Students are guided in a serious, focused environment where consistency, discipline, and excellence are the standard. The program is designed for dancers who are ready to train at a professional level while still developing within an age-appropriate structure.

• Classical Ballet Technique (structured year-long progression)
