Milwaukee Ballet
What we see onstage is the result of countless hours of toil, sweat, failure, and resilience. It is only by becoming a stronger person on the inside that we get to the seemingly effortless level of confidence exuded by our students. This is as true in life as it is in dance.
The Academy program is designed for serious dance students, age 13 and older, who are interested in and willing to commit to intensive study in a variety of dance styles. Most Academy classes are held at Milwaukee Ballet’s Baumgartner Center for Dance in downtown Milwaukee.
Ballet VIII
Ballet VIII allows students to continue their dance education at a high level of training with a modified schedule and commitment level.
