Welcome to In The Spotlight Ballet Conservatory, the most exceptional pre-professional classical ballet training program in Central California. This elite, boutique program for talented, highly-motivated dancers training for a career in classical ballet or concert dance, is the most rigorous, comprehensive, and personalized program in the San Joaquin Valley. In addition to intensive, impeccable ballet training, our students practice strength and conditioning on a daily basis for injury prevention in addition to training extensively in contemporary work and other dance styles. Our program is designed to optimize students technical growth and artistic development. This unique approach creates dancers who are extremely versatile and well-prepared to tackle both classical and contemporary repertoire. At In The Spotlight Ballet Conservatory, we understand that dancers have a limited window of years during which excellent training is critical. Our focus is always on the long game: a lasting and rewarding career in dance artistry. Dancers in this program train five days per week with regular breaks for academics. Students in the academic conservatory are homeschooled or attend charter schools that support independent study. The academic sessions are overseen by credentialed teachers and tutors who understand the unique personalities and demands that accompany dancers. Much of the training for these dancers happens during the day, with the option of additional classes in the evening. In this exclusive environment, students will form friendships and bonds with like minded individuals who share the same passion, drive, and determination for a professional dance career. If you are seeking a dance conservatory to belong, to learn and to grow, you’ve found your home.
