New Class Offerings
New Jersey Ballet School has restructured its year-round program to help raise the barre for those students wishing to gear their training toward a place in the Company's Pre-Professional Trainee Program. While providing this more serious pathway, the School has made a concerted effort to widen its Open Division offerings to help create a place for all of the students who may not wish to commit to the intensifying requirements of the Student Division.
New Classes Include
Open Ballet Classes *Offered 4 times per week for dancers aged 10-18 who wish to choose the frequency and level of their training commitment.
Boys Class *Offered 3 times per week, free of charge for all boys aged 7-16.
