PRE-PROFESSIONAL DIVISION
Our 2024/2025 Schedule is now open for enrollment!
Ballet Kalamazoo is a year-round training school for classical and contemporary ballet.
​
​​
Our 2024/2025 class season runs from September to May payable by the month. Tuition is due on the 1st of the month.
Our pre-professional training program offers a distinguished pathway for dancers aspiring to elevate their craft, whether aiming for a collegiate dance program or a prestigious professional company. Our dancers are privileged to train and compete at the prestigious Youth American Grand Prix (YAGP), Youth International Ballet Competition (ADCIBC), and Universal Ballet Competition (UBC), earning coveted positions in world-renowned ballet companies for both summer intensives and year-round programs.
​
This season, our exceptional talents have graced the studios of the Royal Danish Ballet, Joffrey Ballet Chicago, Joffrey Miami, Interlochen Center for the Arts, and Blue Lake Fine Arts Camp. Additionally, they have secured places in the esteemed year-round programs at the National Ballet of Canada, Milwaukee Ballet, Joffrey Ballet Chicago, and Interlochen Center for the Arts.
​
We design recommended schedules for each Conservatory Level, allowing you the flexibility to tailor your training according to your individual goals and time commitments.
​
We warmly welcome competition dancers seeking to enhance their ballet technique to join our ballet classes, where expert guidance awaits to support your artistic journey.
​
Your first class with us is free to try! Please select the trial option when you register. This can help make sure your dancer is ready to commit to the full semester before buying the uniform. For the first class, please wear something comfortable to move in like leggings and a t-shirt or dance attire if you have one already. If they decide to sign up, then we do require a uniform.
​
Dress Code: We have a strict uniform policy. Please visit our uniform page for the requirements.
​
We require every student in our Children's Ballet Program and the Conservatory Program to secure the hair in a bun or a tied-down braid for all ballet classes, and all dangled jewelry must be removed.
