Fall Registration Closed

Fall Registration for all classes closed on September 2. Our second uniform order also closed August 31. There will be another opportunity to order uniforms in late November.

If you need to exchange an unused uniform for a different size, please send Megan an email at megan.lay@coloradoballet.org detailing the current size, level and size you need. There are no guarantees we will be able to fulfill all exchanges.


Adult Ballet Classes

Colorado Ballet Academy's Open Program serves a diverse community of teens and adults, offering classes from Absolute Beginner through Intermediate Ballet Technique and Jazz. The use of classical music, focused exercise and the precision required in ballet transcends a typical workout and transports students to the true physical art of dance.

A flexible drop-in schedule meets the needs of both the working professional and busy student. Open Classes also serve as an active alternative while waiting for your student to get out of evening classes. Check out pricing, schedules and registration on our website.
