VIRTUAL
Pre-Professional Program
2020/21 School Year
Beginning Ballet & Levels 1- 6

Due to the Covid-19 pandemic, we are also hosting a virtual program of our Pre-Professional Program this year. The School of Ballet Co.Laboratory’s Pre-Professional program is designed for dancers ages 6 – 20. BCL’s unique full and flex virtual options allow students to select the number of hours they wish to train each week in addition to their Small Group Lesson. These options make dance more accessible to students/families based on their available time commitment.

Registration now open!
Space will be limited to 6 virtual students per level to allow
Teaching Artists to best serve students in our virtual program.

Level+4+on+Zoom

Full/Flex Options

The Virtual Pre-Professional Program offers Full and Flex options. Both options include one virtual Small Group Lesson per week in which only virtual program students participate. These Small Group Lessons will allow virtual students to more personally connect with their Teaching Artist once a week in addition to classes with the rest of their level.

Home Studio Set Up

We recommend our virtual students to set up a space in their home that will give them the best dance experience possible. A 6 foot by 8 foot space that will allow students to place their video device at least 10 feet away is best for student to have room to dance and BCL Teaching Artists to be able to see the student fully. We recommend investing in a DANCE MAT and a 4-FOOT BARRE. For the best reception in out Zoom Virtual Studio, dancers should close all other internet tabs on their device and consider connecting their device through an ethernet cord.

Registration

Register for a Level by placing your first monthly payment below. After you have registered, the BCL Office will set up your monthly autopay with your credit card on file. You may choose to make your monthly payment on either on the 1st or 15th of the month.

I have taken a few [virtual] dance classes from other studios and by far BCL has a vastly superior experience. The closest I have come to the experience in the studio.
