Pre-Professional Division

NAB’s Pre-Professional Division offers exceptional training to prepare dancers striving for a career in ballet. Students will emerge from the program with tools and principles to help guide them through long, healthy careers.

Classes for dancers are aimed at preparing them for a career & life in a professional ballet company. Classes are built upon their prior dance education knowledge and classes are focused on polishing their technique & artistry. All Pre-Professional students will work closely with the company learning to perform from professional dancers.

As each level follows our carefully planned curriculum throughout the year, students are highly encouraged to attend all weekly classes in this division. However, students may sign up for individual weekly classes based on their schedules.
