| | The Dance Conservatory Program
The school is a
Classical Ballet based program with supplementary classes in numerous other
dance styles including Jazz, Modern, Tap, Theatre Dance and Voice. Repertory, Performance,
and BTD Company classes are designed to challenge students to apply technical
aptitude and stylistic awareness to diverse choreographed pieces. Ballet Theatre
of Dover (BTD) is a performance group made up of select students of the school.
Dance Conservatory
prepares its students for performance, if that is their
goal, and uses performance as part of their training, but
our Mission is, as it was for Balanchine:
"But first, a school."
A Tradition of Excellence - Our
26th Year
The school has
provided classes to the community for recreational or career–directed
students. Our students have gone on to perform with companies such as Suzanne
Farrell Ballet, Ballet Tech (NY), Dutch National Ballet (Amsterdam),
Pennsylvania Ballet, North Carolina Dance Theatre, Richmond Ballet, and Broadway
touring companies. Students receive scholarships to institution schools,
colleges and universities including School of American Ballet (SAB), ABT,
University of the Arts (PA), and Boston Conservatory.
Dance Conservatory
is proud to have our graduates finish high school in their home environment and
qualify for the highest levels of America's prestigious dance colleges and
institutions. During the summer, the students
enjoy the classes of Master teachers like Ruben
Graciani, a teacher and dancer from the Mark Morris Dance Company; Alexander
Boitsov, formerly of the Donetsk Ballet in Russia; and Giuseppe Canale,
of the Maurice Bejart Dance Company and the Dutch National Ballet (home to one
of our graduates, Chelsea King).
Our tuition
structure ensures that students progress at their own pace and maintain the most
productive training. It is a structure comparable to that of the finest private
academic schools and dance institutions. This year, we will again offer
Performance classes, in which repertory pieces in jazz, tap, and other dance
styles will be learned for community performances throughout the year.
