The Conservatory Division classes are for intermediate to advanced dancers who show exceptional desire, talent, and ability in dance. Dancers are placed in the Conservatory Division by teacher placement only. Conservatory Division ballet classes emphasize correct classical ballet techniques and terminology. As students progress through each level curriculum will become increasingly more complex and intricate. Dancers must take at least the minimum required classes for their level. We encourage students to take classes in multiple styles of dance. Conservatory Division Ballet classes are labeled CD-1, CD-2 etc. CDJ and CDHH stand for Conservatory Division Jazz, Conservatory Division Hip Hop.
