PREPARATORY DIVISION

Ballet Chicago's Preparatory Division classes provide an inspired introduction to the arts with a focus on creativity, group interaction, motor skill development, and the joy of self-expression. For summer activity, Children's Theme Camps are offered for Preparatory Division Students. 

​

Enrollment includes the opportunity to perform in our annual production of The Nutcracker at the Athenaeum Theatre in Chicago's Lakeview neighborhood and our Annual School Performance.

Dress Code Information:
Preparatory Division students are encouraged to wear tutus and tiaras/tunics and crowns so that they can experience the full joy of being a young ballerina or future male danseur!

 

• Tights: Pink and Flesh color tights are welcome.

• Ballet Slippers: Leather shoes that match the color of the tights with a single elastic (no crisscrossed elastics).
