Colorado Conservatory of Dance (formerly the School of Ballet Nouveau Colorado) is the stateâÂÂs premiere pre-professional and educational dance training center. Founded in 1992, CCD has grown to include youth programs, a robust adult program, extensive outreach programs throughout the Denver-Boulder metro area, and mutually supportive relationships with local professional dance companies. In 2001 the school created the critically acclaimed Ballet Nouveau Colorado professional company, which in 2013 became the independent dance company Wonderbound. Under the direction of Julia Wilkinson Manley since 2002, CCD has received repeated local and national accolades for the exceptional quality of its programs. CCD commits itself to offering an extraordinary quality of dance education. With 400 students and 14,000+ outreach participants per year, the organization is a powerful force for expanding the reach of high quality dance education in the Front Range community. The school holds an impeccable reputation for its nurturing and professional environment for students from pre-school through adult. Its teaching syllabus combines methodical rigor, diverse techniques, and a focus in health and wellness, and many of its students go on to outstanding professional careers in dance. CCD offers exciting and enriching experiences for people of any age, ability, experience level, aspiration, or socio-economic status. The school serves not only youth and aspiring professionals, but also offers recreational classes for children and adults, an Adaptive Dance program for students of all physical and cognitive ability levels, health counseling and Pilates at its Wellness Center, and much more. CCDâÂÂs scholarship program annually gives almost $80,000 in tuition assistance and therefore ensures that anyone with the desire to dance can do so at CCD. | |
