GIRLS'/WOMEN'S PROGRAM

CBSF's Girls'/Women's Program is where passion, talent, and artistry converge. Our training is known to go beyond solid technique; we bring out the unique artistry in each individual that clearly sets them apart from others. The mastering of these two elements is why our students excel in all professional and competitive environments. We ask for students' full commitment to the program and offer world-class training in return.

World-Class Training

CBSF’s Vaganova training comes straight from its origins, with faculty from the Bolshoi and Mariinsky Theatres. With expert instruction in pointe, variations, and artistry, students gain the technique and confidence to succeed in top companies worldwide.

Mentorship

At CBSF, students receive individualized mentorship from world-class faculty who guide their technical, artistic, and professional growth. With personalized attention, career advice, and industry connections, dancers gain the support they need to reach their full potential.

Performance Experience

Stage experience bridges the gap between training and a professional career. CBSF's  productions like Swan Lake, Nutcracker, Don Quixote, and new contemporary works build confidence, artistry, and adaptability, while rehearsals refine technique and stage presence.
