About Carroll County Dance Center

Carroll County Dance Center has enjoyed its beautiful new $1,000,000 facility for two years now.  The facility, which is located on the Springfield Hospital Center and Warfield Complex, has four spacious studios, raised flooring, viewing windows and TV monitor, homework area, and a student lounge.   

The Ballet Conservatory provides the opportunity for the dedicated and enthusiastic student to study classical ballet.  Students are taught following the principles of the Russian Vaganova method, in conjunction with principles from contemporary training methods.  This program consists of a set curriculum of classes designed to guide the serious student into a professional company or a top notch college dance program.  For the 2008-09 season we will continue to offer the Jr. Pre-Professional Division and will offer select classes by invitation only.  Carroll County Dance Center students have been accepted at numerous schools and companies, often with extensive scholarships.  These include the American Ballet Theatre summer program, Pacific Northwest Ballet, Washington Ballet Young Dancers, the School of American Ballet, Miami City Ballet, Central Pennsylvania Youth Ballet, the Joffrey Ballet apprenticeship program, National Ballet of Canada School, Houston Ballet, North Carolina School for the Arts, the Boston Conservatory, Goucher College, Towson University, Baltimore School for the Arts, Butler University, Point Park College, the Boston Ballet School, and the Kirov Academy in Washington, D.C.
