Bridging the gap between exceptional training and full-time pre-professional ballet training.
QCD's Pre-Professional Transitional Ballet (Part-Time) program is crafted to strengthen technique, build physical resilience, and broaden stylistic versatility, preparing students for the leap into full‑time training and performance.
Our curriculum combines classical ballet training (including pointe work and repertoire), character ballet, contemporary, jazz and strength & conditioning — giving students a well‑rounded foundation that supports their artistic growth and training maturity.
Whether you're preparing for full-time study or simply want to train at a higher level, Transitional Ballet gives you the skills, strength, and confidence to take that next step.
