Conservatory 6-8 is the pinnacle of our training and is dedicated to serving dancers who desire to perform classical ballet in professional and collegiate settings. Students attend five days a week which includes ballet classes with pointe, ballet class fully en pointe, variations, contemporary, strength and stretch, a warm up ballet class, and a two hour repertoire class. Conservatory 6-8 students will expand their technique to prepare for the demands of famous classical and contemporary works. Conservatory 6-8 is a multi-year level that continues training until a student graduates or attends a professional ballet school or trainee program.
They perform in our Christmas Showcase and Spring Production as well as several other opportunities. Additionally, Conservatory 6-8 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.
Conservatory classes are registered for the entire weekly requirements at one time. Conservatory 6-8's have three required ballet classes and may choose their fourth as a daytime option or a level down.
