PRE-PROFESSIONAL DIVISION
Pre-Professional Division ballet classes are appropriate for serious students with a significant ballet training background. A placement class is required for enrollment in all Pre-Professional Division classes.
Fall classes begin August 4, 2025.
Pre-Professional Division students also have the opportunity to audition to perform with BRT’s company in The Nutcracker.



Class Descriptions
Level IV Required six classes/wk & Level V Required seven classes/wk : These levels focus on the serious ballet student, with emphasis on commitment and performance quality. Students enrolled in the Pre‑Professional Division are expected to take all classes offered at their level. Progress in these classes depends upon regular and consistent participation. At these levels, regular attendance is crucial in order to develop and maintain the required strength and skills to safeguard against injury as the technique becomes increasingly more difficult. Absences will affect a student’s progress and their ability to be promoted with other students at their level. At these levels cross training is important, and the Modern III class is also part of the weekly class requirement.
Company Class: Once a student begins demonstrating their mastery of Level E classes, the student may be invited to participate in some or all of the daily company technique classes.
Modern: Essential for serious ballet students, Modern dance technique helps dancers find their own quality of movement and core movement initiation with an emphasis on anatomical alignment and kinetic awareness of contemporary movement as well as assisting in the student’s expression through movement.
Men’s Ballet II: This class caters to the danseur and focuses on the basic technique of classical ballet with an emphasis toward developing the specific strengths needed as male dancers. This class is paired with a ballet technique class prior.
