Overview

CityDance’s Young Training Program (YTP) offers dancers ages 7–10 a rigorous, developmentally appropriate curriculum designed to nurture the talent and passion of young aspiring artists. Core training includes classical ballet, contemporary, and repertory/performance skills. The goal of YTP is to prepare students for the Pre-Conservatory Program, and ultimately for success in the most advanced levels of dance training. With expert instruction from our dedicated faculty, students are nurtured in both their technical development and artistic expression.

Program Levels

  • YTP I (Ages 7–8)
  • YTP II (Ages 8–9)
  • YTP III (Ages 9–10)

Each cohort follows a thoughtfully structured weekly schedule that is both rigorous and age-appropriate. Most dancers spend one year at each level, but we recognize that every child progresses differently. YTP is offered at our Maryland locations only.
