Registration for 2017-2018 School Year.
The GKA training system is built around three major areas of study: ballet, core dynamics, and dramatic development.
Gelsey Kirkland Academy of Classical Ballet offers students of all levels to train throughout the year with our renowned faculty in our studios located in DUMBO, New York City, New York.
Professional Training Program
Our intensive training programs are aimed at the full cultural development of the young artist, to provide each student with a dynamic range of technical skills, coupled with that elusive quality known as the artist’s “sensitivity of soul.” We are committed to developing classical dancers who are capable of expressing powerful theatrical ideas in ballet through a rich understanding of other artistic disciplines, cultures, and traditions.
Young Dancer Program
Gelsey Kirkland Academy of Classical Ballet’s Young Dancer Program, made up of the Pre-Professional Division and Children’s Division, was created for aspiring dancers ages 3-14 who want to experience the joy that comes from dancing. Our goal is to have our young students develop creative movement skills, musicality, rhythm, coordination, expression, character, and confidence.
