The Pre-Professional Program is the backbone of Peabody Dance’s curriculum for ballet and contemporary dance students. Its intensive, graded course of study is designed to help motivated, possibly career-minded students, meet the professional dance field’s highest standards. Starting in Level 4X, students may opt to retain a curriculum focus in ballet or choose a Contemporary Dance Focus. The Levels 5X/6 Contemporary Focus adds carefully graded classes based on classic modern dance techniques. Students develop core strength, flexibility, different movement styles, and creativity. Improvisation/composition and repertory are incorporated into the weekly schedule; opportunities to work with guest artists are offered. Continued training in ballet is required. Levels 5X/6 students may participate in a performance at the end of the spring semester (additional Materials Fee required); additional performing opportunities may become available. For a detailed description of the Pre-Professional Program class offerings, schedules, and level progression, visit http://peabody.jhu.edu/preparatory/ways-to-study/departments/dance/training/. New students with prior training are required to take a placement class to determine which level is appropriate before registration. Students provide their own dance attire; visit www.peabody.jhu.edu/dance or contact Peabody Dance for details: peabodydance@jhu.edu or 667-208-6648. Tuition fees are listed for the complete 16-week semester. Monthly payment plan available through Tuition Management Services.
