Pre-Professional Division

Ballet Pensacola’s Pre-Professional Program is designed for dancers who have completed their traditional, academic dance program and are ready to push their technique and artistry to the next level. This program includes advanced dance instruction, supplemental mentoring, and is designed to develop each dancer seamlessly from student life into a professional ballet setting. This prepares dancers to take on additional hours/training as they develop more into their artistry and skills suited for professional ballet company life. Students in the pre-professional program work closely with the Ballet Pensacola company. Auditions are held annually in January.
