Chicago City Classical Ballet

Pre-Professional Classical Ballet Training

Chicago City Classical Ballet, housed at Extensions Dance Center, trains serious young dancers for a real path into classical ballet, with faculty whose own training runs through some of the most demanding programs in the world. Students compete at Youth America Grand Prix, the Universal Ballet Competition, and other major national events, backed by instruction built on decades of real performance and choreographic experience.

Classical ballet training only means something when it comes from people who've actually lived it - danced it professionally, staged it, toured with it. Chicago City Classical Ballet's faculty brings exactly that kind of depth, shaped by training and performance careers that ran through some of the most rigorous classical programs in Europe.

What the program offers:
- Pre-professional classical ballet training
- Choreography and repertoire staging by instructors with real company experience
- Preparation for Youth America Grand Prix, Universal Ballet Competition, ICON Classical, and New York City Dance Alliance
- A pathway for serious students aiming at professional ballet careers

Housed at Extensions Dance Center in Chicago, the program is built for dancers who want more than a recital once a year - they want real technique, real feedback, and a real shot at where ballet can take them.
