About Us
The Boston Conservatory was the first college in the nation to have an integrated department of ballet and modern dance. Today, we continue to expand the diversity of our dance training with classes in hip-hop, tap, musical theater and cultural dance styles.
Your Training
Here you will train in both ballet and modern and learn how the two disciplines inspire and inform each other. Given the importance of health and wellness to dancers, The Boston Conservatory also teaches classes in Alexander Technique, Pilates, Gyrokinesis, nutrition and anatomy.
Your Teachers
Our faculty and guest instructors consist of
world-class artists from major dance companies. They bring a wide
breadth of experience and training to the program, having worked with
such notable choreographers as Tudor, Joffrey, Limón, Graham, Ailey and
de Mille, as well as with companies such as Boston Ballet, Metropolitan
Opera Ballet of New York and Limón Dance Company. For a full directory
