PRE-PROFESSIONAL TRAINING PROGRAM (PPTP)
AUDITION

The program focuses on superior classical ballet training, developing strong technique, and a beautiful sense of musicality and artistry, all of which are required to become a successful, professional ballet dancer.

The program is a 16-week training program. PPTP is TADA’s ballet and contemporary program designed to provide elite training in preparation for competition at Youth American Grand Prix (YAGP) and college auditions. We welcome dedicated dancers aiming to enhance their technique and artistry through the study of classical variations. Led by Artistic Director, Kara Jacobson and Mary Coon, the program focuses on taking students who love ballet and helping them train for YAGP. YAGP is a prestigious ballet competition that is typically held February of each year. Dancers learn age appropriate variations that are pre-approved by YAGP. To participate in our PPTP program dancers must be at least 10 years old and deemed ready by the artistic staff.
