SHAPING THE ARTISTS OF TOMORROW

Colorado Ballet Academy students receive professional classical ballet training and mentorship from our faculty members that extends beyond the dance studio. The Academy shapes students into well-rounded, dynamic dancers by empowering our students to freely and creatively express themselves while cultivating their technique and musicality. Our faculty is passionate about sharing the beautiful experience of this art form with our dancers and creating a unique space that transforms students into ballet artists. 

Colorado Ballet Academy is grateful to train dancers who come from a variety of backgrounds. Students join our Academy at all ages and levels with unique goals and aspirations while sharing a passion for classical ballet. Academy students share a space with Colorado Ballet and experience unique opportunities to dance alongside, take class from, and begin their professional dance career with the Company.

Our Home

Colorado Ballet Academy students train in our state-of-the-art facility in downtown Denver, a shared space with Colorado Ballet. Students study alongside our prestigious faculty and Company dancers, focusing on clarity in classical technique, musicality, and dynamic and honest artistry. Our curriculum is grounded in pure classical ballet training with elements of the Russian, French and Italian schools to produce seasoned dancers who thrive professionally under the diverse choreographic demands of dancers today. Colorado Ballet Academy welcomes all students to learn, dance and grow into the artist they’re meant to be.
