Spotlight on Our Pre-Professional Company Tracks
At Prima Dance Co., we combine elite, science-backed technical training with a nurturing environment to help dancers unlock their full potential. Our Pre-Pro Company offers two distinct, high-level pathways designed to match your dancer's goals.
Track 1: Classical Ballet & Contemporary Focus This track builds a flawless technical foundation. Dancers take 2 to 4 ballet classes weekly alongside contemporary training, solo variations, and Progressive Ballet Technique (PBT). Dancers on this track gain prestigious opportunities, including competing at Youth America Grand Prix (YAGP), taking American Ballet Theatre (ABT®) Student Examinations, and performing soloist roles in our major productions.
Track 2: Commercial & Versatility Focus Designed for the dancer who wants to excel across multiple modern genres, this track requires a minimum of 4 classes per week in Ballet, Contemporary, Jazz, and Acro. Dancers can also add Ballroom, Tap, Hip Hop, and Poms. Utilizing world-class training like the Giordano Jazz Chicago Curriculum and Acrobatic Arts, this track prepares well-rounded athletes for elite showcase performances.
The "Life Curriculum" Beyond the Stage While our dancers achieve incredible milestones, the true value of our program lies in the life skills they develop. Driven by our "Psychology First" philosophy, we foster a growth mindset where mistakes are stepping stones. Through shared performance goals, our dancers build deep personal accountability, exceptional teamwork, and resilience that serves them long after their final bow.
