Pre- Professional Program
The Pre-professional year-round program is designed to meet the needs of dedicated students 11-19 years of age, from across the United States, and abroad, who seek the highest standard of classical ballet education to prepare for a professional career.
Working daily under Myriam Ayala's artistic direction, and careful guidance, students develop the essential skills to fully explore and achieve their greatest individual potential. The aim of the Academy is to train professional dancers who will join big international companies tomorrow. To achieve this, the training teaches students to develop the qualities essential to the exercise of this profession: discipline, respect for the profession, empowerment of the choreographic artist, openness to the world of the arts, the awakening of passion.
The curriculum is based on the "Royal Academy of Dance" It offers a system of training that is logical, thought-provoking, inspiring, and highly effective.
There is great emphasis on the development of a strong ballet technique including strong pointe technique and most advanced skills such as fouettés turns, Italian fouettés, manège, grande batterie, elegant artistry, precise musicality as well as stamina and body conditioning.

A little history…
The Academy was born in 2018 from the need to create a high-level dance academy in the heart of Miami Brickell, directed throughout these years by Myriam Ayala and enjoying an international reputation. Our objective is to accentuate the pre-professional dimension of the Academy and to allow its students, from different backgrounds and nationalities, to perfect their learning between 3 and 19 years, in order to join at the end of their training a professional company.
