Boys in Ballet

There is a global decline of boys participation in ballet. We are dedicated to reversing this trend to help ensure the evolution and viability of the art form. The benefits of dance for boys are far reaching and, as an encouragement for boys to try ballet, we offer a three month complimentary trial period for new students ages 8-18*.  After three months, students will be evaluated for scholarship opportunities. Fall classes begin on September 3, 2024 and run through May, 2025, but new students may join at any time throughout the term. There is no audition needed, just sign up at the link below.

Benefits of ballet:

  • Enjoying a safe, encouraging environment
  • Dancing in professional, purpose-built studios
  • Opportunities to dance in professional company productions
  • Forming friendships with fellow boys who share a passion for dance
  • Learning male-specific ballet techniques
  • Receiving instruction and mentoring from professional male dancers
  • Building a support network with peers who have similar interests
  • Drawing inspiration from observing older boys and men dedicated to ballet within our studios

*complimentary trial period valid for new and first-time academy students.
