Boys’ Ballet Program

Our Boys’ Ballet Program is designed to inspire strength, confidence, and artistry in young male dancers. Classes focus on building athleticism, coordination, musicality, and a strong foundation in classical ballet technique.

Students will work on posture, agility, core stability, dynamic jumps, and movement quality in a supportive class environment designed specifically for boys.

This program is open to boys ages 8–12, with or without previous ballet experience. Age 7 may be considered with demonstrated readiness through a trial or placement class.

Boys who are also enrolled in regular program classes and meet their assigned level requirements will receive the Boys’ Ballet class on full scholarship.

Tuition will automatically post as $0, as most Boys Ballet Program students are also enrolled in our regular program and attend this class on full scholarship. For boys enrolled solely in Boys Ballet, tuition of $53.50 per month will be billed internally and processed using the card on file on the first of each month.

Boys enrolled in Boys’ Ballet who also participate in Bay Area Youth Ballet productions, such as The Nutcracker and the year-end concert, will receive a 50% scholarship toward their production participation fees.
