Program Overview

This rigorous and comprehensive two-year Dance Performance diploma program provides you with the necessary skills to launch a career in dance. As a graduate, you will be a classical ballet and/or contemporary dancer with the professionalism, technical expertise and industry contacts required to pursue a career in dance. With a choice of specialty in classical or contemporary dance, students train in ballet, modern and jazz with studies in acting, vocal, repertoire and composition to elevate their overall performance quality and marketability.

There are two streams for students to specialize in either classical or contemporary dance:

  • The Classical stream is for intermediate/advanced ballet students and includes more advanced training in ballet and pointe.
  • The Contemporary stream is for intermediate-level ballet students and includes additional contemporary training and the option of less advanced pointe classes.

Student Selection

Entrance requirement is dance training at the intermediate classical ballet level with pointe work and experience in other dance forms. Prospective students must pass an audition in ballet and jazz as well as an interview.
