UNCSA Preparatory Dance Program

UNCSA Preparatory Dance Program The program runs from third to ninth grade, with select children's ballet classes for younger dancers.

The Preparatory Dance Program is the Piedmont Triad's preeminent ballet program for young dancers in search of rigorous dance training within a nurturing environment. The UNCSA Preparatory Dance program presents a unique opportunity for young dancers to experience the joy of developing their artistry in a nurturing atmosphere. Focusing on the etiquette and discipline necessary for building a solid

foundation in ballet technique, this after-school, pre-professional training program has received national recognition for its excellence. Preparatory Dance faculty are certified in the American Ballet Theatre National Training Curriculum that combines high quality artistic training, dancer health and child development. Classical ballet vocabulary is developed progressively with an emphasis on sound body alignment, musicality, coordination and attention to dynamic detail to prepare students for entry into the UNCSA High School Program. The well-being and safety of our students is our first priority. 2021-22 classes will be provided in a hybrid format, in-person and on Zoom. Students are placed into classes according to age and ability, taking into account the developmental needs of the individual with an emphasis on the health of the whole dancer. Classes are designed to develop versatile dancers with an organic feeling for line, musicality and quality which will allow them to move from one dance technique to another with ease.
