Pre-Professional Program

Turning Pointe Dance Studio’s Pre-Professional Program (PPP) is designed for the ballet student that has decided to make dance a part of their future. The program is designed to prepare dancers for a career in dance, whether they choose to dance professionally in a dance company or to participate in dance at the University level. Our program provides an intensive ballet training experience for students in pursuit of a professional career. A class training schedule is structured so that PPP students can focus primarily on the goals of becoming a professional dancer with daily morning classes, rehearsals, and private coaching while maintaining academic success. The PPP program is for advanced ballet students only. Students must audition for this program if they are not currently training with Turning Pointe Dance Studio Faculty.
