Since 1959, this school has nurtured budding ballerinas. Some children enter the school’s professional program in Grade 6, but the Associates Program (for kids aged six to 17) offers a superb curriculum for those who don’t necessarily have professional as­pirations. Classes focus on conditioning, character building and repertoire studies. Younger kids focus on musicality and pleasure in movement, using exercises designed by a neuro­muscular specialist. Audition required.
Hours:
Sept.–June M–F 6:30–8:15 p.m., Sa 9–5.
How much:
$700 to $1,950 per year.
