Cultivate Performing Arts Academy

Are you looking for classical ballet training in the Colorado Springs area that is committed to excellence, small class sizes, and a compassionate training model? You will find all that and more as part of Cultivate's Ballet Conservatory!

Cultivate's unique Conservatory program is designed for dedicated dancers aged 7 to 19 who seek to study ballet in a deeper way and have chosen it as their primary extracurricular pursuit. Our Ballet Conservatory proudly offers 9 levels of training following the renowned Vaganova syllabus. Advancement through our levels is determined by individual mastery of skills as each level builds upon the next.

We are currently accepting applications for our 2026-2027 season! Acceptance to our program is based on a student's commitment to ballet and a readiness for intensive training, regardless of their prior experience.
