CDC'S PRE-PROFESSIONAL PROGRAM is designed to offer intensive training and performance opportunities to our most dedicated dancers. This program is specifically geared towards our classical ballet and contemporary jazz genres. Most pre-professional students attend classes required for ballet and jazz; however, it is not mandatory for students to do both. Students accepted into our pre-pro division are required to take five ballet/pointe classes per week and/or two jazz classes. Classes are usually 1.5 hours each and focus on enhancing strength and technical skills necessary to pursue a career in dance. Additional classes in variations, pas de deux, Pilates, acro, and theater workshops are optional as well.
The majority of our pre-pro students are members of our non-profit performing companies. These audition-only companies offer numerous performance opportunities as well as first-hand experience working with the dance world's highest caliber teachers and choreographers. We are thrilled to offer such a distinguished dance program to our community's youth!
