About
Vitacca Pre-Professional Program includes our day plus evening training for beginning, intermediate, and advanced dancers ages 8–18. This program offers a focused environment for study within foundational classes and excellent advanced training for disciplined dancers. The pre-professional to professional curriculum includes advanced technical training in ballet, pointe, modern and contemporary.
Our Pre-Professional Program dancers are invited to perform in the end-of-season performance and our annual Nutcracker Production though it is not mandatory. We offer further performance and competitive opportunities to dancers accepted into the Vitacca Studio Company (ages 11+) or the Classical Coaching Program CCP (invitation by the Director, assessment required).
