You are invited to dance with Ballet Royale, Minnesota’s premier ballet academy!

This year, we are offering two different tracks for dancers age seven and older: our Academy Program and our NEW Pre-Professional Program. Both the Pre-Professional and Academy programs will be taught by our exemplary faculty and continue to give your dancer the highest quality professional training available today, in a focused, safe, and healthy environment.

Our Academy Program is for students age seven and older. This program follows an elementary through advanced/intermediate ballet syllabus, and includes modern/contemporary, preparation for pointe, performance/musical theater jazz, an elite solos/variations class, and pointe classes for the higher levels. All levels include repertoire training, in which students learn choreography and dances. New students with prior dance training seeking to enter Youth Ballet 1 or higher are required to have a personal evaluation by the school faculty for placement.

Our new Pre-Professional Program provides a more rigorous and demanding training schedule, designed for students ages 7-21 striving towards a professional or post-secondary dance career. Admission to the Pre-Professional Program and our Professional Division are by audition and invitation only. Please visit our website for more information and audition information.

Class Descriptions

Intro to Yorchhā: Envision justice through rhythmic footwork, flowing torso, and sustained breath in Intro to Yorchhā. Each class begins with a warm-up followed by foundational Yorchhā exercises and a fun choreographed phrase.

Advanced Yorchhā: Dive into the nuance and complexity of Yorchhā. Advanced Yorchhā is designed to challenge and hone experienced movers through strength training, technique refinement, and intricate choreography. Previous Yorchhā experience is encouraged.

Yorchhā is Ananya Dance Theatre’s trade-marked contemporary technique that intersects principles of vinyasa yoga, classical Indian dance form Odishi (from the eastern Indian state of Odisha) and martial art form Chhau (also from Odisha).

Students attending in-person classes must provide proof of Covid-19 vaccination and must wear face masks during class. No exceptions.
