Current students are reserved class placement until the registration deadline of August 31. Registration is processed upon completion of the online registration form and receipt of tuition payment.
Transfer students may enroll mid-year, if space allows. Transfer students must learn and adhere to our rules and regulations regarding uniform and conduct.
Sous-sus en pointe
Transfer students may be required to take a 'placement class' to determine level of training. This is simply attending a class in session, and allowing the instructor to assess previous training. Please contact us to schedule a placement class.
If you are considering enrollment at the Academy of Ballet, you are welcome to attend our All Class Presentation at the Grand Opera House. This free event provides an excellent view of our students and their progression. After the presentation, Marina or Megan will gladly take you on a tour of the Academy of Ballet, located on the 3rd and 4th floors of the Grand Opera House Building.
