Our Men’s Program has a 100% placement rate to professional schools and companies around the world.

Residence Program

The Residence Program at Cary Ballet Conservatory offers dancers a home away from home. Our wonderful, nearby facility is located in a friendly neighborhood within walking distance to the studio for classes. Under 24-hour care by a Residence Director, selected students have the opportunity to experience a memorable PTP boarding experience and make friendships with other dancers who share their passion for dance.

Housing is limited and available to selected students only, so we encourage early applications.

Academic Program
