Chicago Ballet Arts: Pre-Professional Intensive

Our Pre-Professional Intensive is a week-long experience designed for intermediate and advanced dancers ages 10 and up. Students are divided into two levels based on age, previous experience, and skill. No audition is required. The 2026 intensive will include ballet technique with live piano accompaniment, pointe, and variations, with additional classes in styles such as jazz, modern, contemporary, musical theater, ballroom, hip hop, and conditioning, along with enrichment opportunities. The intensive features CBA faculty members along with guest artists and culminates in an informal, in-studio sharing for family and friends. Space is limited. Class offerings and faculty are tentative and subject to change.
