_________________________________________

The Pre-Professional Dance Program at CBA is designed for dancers who plan to pursue dance after high school. CBA aims to provide our pre-professional students with motivating and individualized attention to further themselves as artists. Placement in the Pre-Professional Program is by audition only.

Ballet: Ballet classes at the pre-professional level are meant to further develop students' technique, with a focus on personal strength and artistry. Dancers are encouraged to explore their abilities through rigorous technique classes and multiple performance opportunities.

Contemporary: Contemporary at CBA aims to help dancers uncover their potential through a creative exploration of different styles of movement. Classes will consist of learning choreography and floor work progressions with a focus on movement textures, musicality, and self-expression. With an emphasis on building strength and stamina, these classes encourage dancers to grow and push their personal limits.

Modern/Improv: Modern/Improv at CBA focuses on generating spontaneous movement based in various styles. Our staff works to assist each student in pinpointing movement that resonates within their bodies and explore what interests them artistically. This practice will additionally be used as a way to develop composition and choreography.

Jazz: These classes help to develop confident and stylistically versatile dancers through a combination of classic and commercial jazz techniques. In Jazz, dancers will strengthen their endurance and technique with a focus on turns, jumps, flexibility, dynamics, and performance.

Pas de Deux: Dancers will work to gain strength and awareness of traditional, classical partnering. This class requires focus, strength, patience and a willingness to work closely with other dancers.

Variations/Solo Choreography: These classes will help dancers learn classical variations (solos from famous classical ballets) and work on self-choreography. Classical variations are extremely difficult to execute; beginning to work on these fundamentals will assist all dancers in their growth towards being a dancer. Dancers that choose to perform a classical variation or self-choreographed solo on stage will be given an opportunity to do so in March at our Spring showcase.

Hip-Hop: These classes are designed for dancers that wish to fully engage in the vibrant form of dance that combines a variety of free style movements to create a cultural piece of art. These are fun, high energy, classes that require an open mind and positive attitude.
