Conservatory 5 is the transitional year for students who are committed to pursuing classical ballet at a Collegiate or Professional level. Some of their classes are combined with Conservatory 4 while the remaining are combined with Conservatory 6-8. Students attend five days a week which includes ballet classes with pointe, a ballet class fully en pointe, variations, contemporary, strength and stretch, a warm up ballet class, and a two hour repertoire class.
Conservatory 5 students will expand their technique to prepare for the demands of famous classical and contemporary works. They perform in our Christmas Showcase and Spring Production as well as several other opportunities. Additionally, Conservatory 5 students have the option to participate in the Denver Ballet Guild, Esther Geoffrey and Ballet Championships of America. Other opportunities may be considered on a student by student basis.
The school year culminates with a required, supportive and structured exam to help dancers set goals and prepare for the audition environment. Conservatory dancers are expected to maintain their training hours for a minimum of 6 weeks through the summer.
