TRAINING IN 2020/21
We understand how frustrated dancers are right now, and how concerned their parents are, as well. Training from home has limitations, and even though there are a multitude of hybrid training options out there, there are valid concerns.
-
How do you determine which program is best for your dancer?
-
How do you ensure they are progressing when there are a multitude of resources with no meaningful progression?
When it's time to return to in-person training, is your studio following safe protocols?
Everyone deserves a safe environment, whether it's virtual or in-person, to grow and develop.

As we adapt to the evolving conditions, we remain dedicated to providing a healthy and creative outlet for our dancers to continue their training during these challenging times.
Bayer Ballet Academy has been successfully providing virtual training since Shelter in Place, as well as safely operating in-studio summer programs since early June.
Our outdoor studio features raised wood floors with overhead coverage, mirrors, barres, fans and heaters, allowing teachers to work with more than one stable group at a time. This space provides flexibility to adjust, as guidelines and mandates change, allowing us to transition between in-studio and outdoors. We will also maintain a virtual-only option for those who prefer to stay home even if the government guidelines allow for in-person training.
VIRTUAL & HYBRID TRAINING OPTIONS
Our program is designed to adapt to the evolving conditions. Whether we are dancing in-person or virtually, we are committed to delivering the highest quality education (Vaganova method) and access to world-renowned faculty and master teachers.
Together, we will rise stronger than before.
