Welcome to Boston Ballet School!

Whether you dream of a career in dance, seek an outlet for personal growth, or just want to have fun, Boston Ballet School has the right program for you. We offer classes for students age 2 and older at each of our three studio locations: in the South End of Boston, in the MetroWest town of Newton and in the South Shore Community of Norwell.

Similar to an academic year, students attend classes from September to June. Registration for the Childrens Program is ongoing through June. Registration for the Classical Ballet and Intensive Programs ends February 28. In 2008 we will be opening our fourth studio location in the North Shore community of Salem in conjunction with the YMCA. During the school year, we offer four programs suited to our students' needs:


Children's Program, ages 2-7
Creative movement and ballet fundamentals

Classical Ballet Program, ages 8-20
Complete classical ballet curriculum

Intensive Program, ages 11-19
More rigorous course of study within the Classical Ballet Program

Trainee Program, ages 16-19
Finishing program for aspiring professionals

The four programs of Boston Ballet School follow a pyramid formation. The Children’s Program provides students with a firm foundation in ballet fundamentals while also inspiring a life-long love of dance. Students progress through the Children’s Program based on age. Students enter the second stage of our school, the Classical Ballet Program at approximately age 8. Following the Elementary levels of the Classical Ballet Program, the School adds an additional, more rigorous course of study called the Intensive Program. The Trainee Program sits at the top of the pyramid.
