2026–27 Schedule & Tuition Guide

Welcome to Year Two

We are excited to share our 2026–27 schedule, and we warmly welcome students at every level of commitment. Whether your dancer is here to build a lifelong love of ballet or to pursue a serious pre-professional path, there is a place for them at TWBA.

Recreational Program — Designed for students who want a strong, structured ballet education without the demands of a company schedule. No audition required, no company fee, and no obligation beyond your chosen class hours. This program is perfect for dancers who love ballet and want to train seriously at their own pace.

Pre-Professional Program — For students pursuing ballet at a higher level, placement is by audition and requires a company fee and a more rigorous weekly schedule. This track is designed for dancers committed to advancing their technique and artistry with the support of our full company curriculum.

Ages listed are guidelines only. Final class placement is determined by the Artistic Director based on each dancer's individual skill level and maturity.

First day of classes: Monday, August 17, 2026  ·  Pre-Professional registration deadline: Saturday, June 6, 2026 at 5:00 PM  ·  Late registrations will incur additional fees
