   2. You will then receive an email from FACTS with a detailed summary of your account and due dates.

financial aid

In order to share our joy of dance with the widest possible audience, a limited amount of financial aid is available for Pre-Ballet. Financial aid is awarded based on a demonstrated need through the Financial Aid Application. The amount of financial aid available each year is dependent upon contributions by SF Ballet donors and careful consideration is given to all requests for assistance. Families may apply once their student has received their invitation for the school year or summer program. Registration fees are not covered by financial aid. Financial aid is awarded for a limited period of time—either one summer session or one regular school year and following summer session. Families must reapply each year to be considered.

ENROLLMENT IS LIMITED

Class size is limited and will be filled on a first-come, first-served basis. We recommend registering as early as possible, as classes do fill up.

WAITLIST

If your preferred class is full, you may request placement on the waitlist by emailing school@sfballet.org with your student’s full name, date of birth, and the date and time of your preferred class.

DETAILS

vaccination requirement

All students are required to be up to date on their COVID-19 vaccination when they are age-eligible. Parents will be asked to attest to this in the enrollment process.

FACULTY

Pre-Ballet classes are taught by SF Ballet School Faculty. Faculty will be announced before classes begin.

SCHEDULE CHANGES, CANCELLATIONS & STUDENT ABSENCES

Our class schedule is subject to change. We reserve the right to cancel class if the minimum enrollment is not met. As a courtesy to the teacher, we ask that parents report absences to the school office. There are no make-up classes and students may not attend alternate classes.

PARENT OBSERVATIONS

Parents are invited to attend two class observations per school year. Dates will be shared with families at the start of each semester.

AUDITIONS, HIGHER LEVEL CLASSES & PERFORMANCE OPPORTUNITIES

Because Pre-Ballet is not a part of the graded curriculum at SF Ballet School, we do not require an audition or screening for Pre-Ballet classes. Students who age-out of Pre-Ballet and are seeking admission to our Level 1 class will attend a screening.

Students in Pre-Ballet do not participate in Nutcracker or Spring Festival performances.
