Dance Classes
Ballet Training Program
Southold Dance Theater trains approximately 250 students per year. We offer partial tuition reduction to students who demonstrate financial need.
Southold’s training program is enhanced by working side-by-side with professional dancers both in the studio and on the stage. Every year, Southold brings in a number of professional guest artists and instructors for their Summer and Winter Intensives. The guest artists have trained and performed with professional dance companies both nationally and internationally.
The faculty at Southold use the Vaganova Ballet Method and Syllabus as a template for their instruction and early childhood teaching techniques to ensure our Children’s Division classes create a nurturing environment that enables each child to begin a lifelong love for dance.
Children's Division
The Children’s Division includes Creative Movement classes for students ages 3 to 5 years old and Pre-Ballet classes for students ages 5 to 7 years old.
