The programs they offer
“My daughter, a freshman in high school, is in her fifth year with Colorado Ballet Society, and we joke that it has officially become her home away from home.”
“My daughter, a freshman in high school, is in her fifth year with Colorado Ballet Society, and we joke that it has officially become her home away from home.”
“I remember wondering when my daughter was not even on pointe yet if this whole ballet-training thing would work for her.”
“It's certainly a commitment at the pre-professional level but not a requirement if that's not the right fit for your dancer.”
“It also allows them to be considered for scholarships to summer intensives all over the country and even internationally.”
How they train
“My sister-in-law, former ABT dancer, had to go through the same coursework as CBS teachers to become ABT certified to teach.”
What families & students say
“The support that she gets to nurture her passion for dance is outstanding and she loves Miss Patty and all the amazing instructors.”
“They strike the perfect balance between building strong technique and fostering a genuine love for dance, all while making it fun!”
“Over the years, we’ve watched our daughter grow not only in skill but also in confidence.”
“Kate, the Artistic Director, to discuss these programs, and she provided her insight as a seasoned professional and was supportive of my daughter gaining that experience.”
“There are particular class requirements to participate in certain performances, but if your dancer does not want to perform, they don't have to.”
“It's certainly a commitment at the pre-professional level but not a requirement if that's not the right fit for your dancer.”
From the reviews
Our daughter started dancing here in kindergarten. She became obsessed with dance and lives for it now. I never would have guessed that we'd be spending so much time on it back when she started but the joy she gets from her experience makes every minute worth it.
Our daughter has danced with Colorado Ballet Society since 2018 (former dancer of other studios since age 3)and I have watched her grow into a beautiful dancer. When she started at CBS they took the time to correct and improve her technique and helped her gain confidence.
“Even at a very young age, Hailey knew that she wanted to commit to dancing and her ‘music’, so we sought out what would be a perfect fit for her,” explains Melanie. “We are so glad we found Colorado Ballet Society! It’s like family to us. Not only has Hailey made life-long friends, but as parents, we have as well.
We have been at CBS for 4 years and we have had a phenomenal experience! The staff is so kind and really gives each dancer excellent instruction during class. We highly recommend Colorado Ballet Society.
Your first ballet class at Colorado Ballet Society
Nervous about walking into your first class? Almost everyone is — and a good studio expects beginners, whether your dancer is five or you're returning at fifty. Here's what to know. What to wear: comfortable clothes you can move in, with socks or bare feet; a leotard and tights are nice if you have them, but not required, and pointe shoes are years down the road — never day one. What to expect: class usually starts at the barre with slow, simple movements to warm up, then moves to the center — follow along, copy the teacher, and don't worry about getting it "right" the first time. Arrive early: come 10–15 minutes ahead to change, find a spot, and let the teacher know it's a first class so they can keep an eye out. It gets easier fast — most people feel far more at home by their third class.
