The Conservatory Program offers diverse training with world-class faculty and a rigorous curriculum from beginner to pre-professional levels. It is catered to dancers who want focused academic training without the commitment of being part of a team or participating in events. The curriculum applies to all styles. Each dancer must complete a placement class conducted by our artistic director, Aretuza Garner, to be accepted in the program and must take all compulsory classes for their age group. Dancers who are looking to further their training may audition for the ODC Company, which includes many performances and ballet competitions.
Conservatory Classes require an audition and 10 month contract.
Auditions are required for all conservatory classes.
It is recommended to complete the Audition Request Form prior to registering.
Program: These levels are for your young dancers from ages 4-7 years old. This class is a great introduction to ballet while still being a fun and enjoyable 45 minutes class.
