2026–2027 Schedule Guide

Welcome to Year Two

We are excited to share our 2026–2027 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.

Primary Dance Programs — These programs are meticulously designed to establish a robust and proficient ballet foundation, providing an introduction to the art form and fostering an appreciation for the arts. The program will develop and encourage creativity, and accurately train the body and mind.

Pre-Professional Programs — These programs are tailored for students who harbor aspirations of pursuing a professional dance career or who seek to acquire a sound technique and artistic expression to gain a comprehensive understanding of the dance world, the arts, themselves, and prepare them for a happy, successful life in society as mature, responsible and compassionate individuals who will contribute to the well being of society.

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
