Cultivate

Cultivate is Bloom’s skill-based training program for dancers ages 7–18 who are ready to grow, take on new challenges, and receive thoughtful feedback. This is a year-round ballet training program. It’s designed to support dedicated dancers looking to strengthen their skills in a positive, encouraging environment.

Cultivate dancers benefit from personalized instruction and a structured progression of levels that build on one another season after season.

Cultivate is open to dancers ages 7–18. Placement is based on skill level, not age alone. All new Cultivate dancers must complete an audition and placement class before being placed in a level.

Dancers who are interested in Cultivate should contact our studio team at support@danceatbloom.com.

Cultivate auditions are held once per year:

• Saturday, April 17th, 2027 — Cost: $20

Registration for Cultivate auditions will open in January 2027. Auditions are approximately 45 minutes and assess technique, musicality, and readiness for the program. Results are communicated within one week.

After a successful audition, dancers are invited to attend a Ballet Level Placement Class to determine the appropriate Cultivate level.

• Ballet Level Placement Classes: June & July

Placement is determined by our instructors based on demonstrated skill during the placement class. Families will be notified of their dancer’s level assignment before the regular season begins.

The Cultivate regular season runs August through May. Dancers commit to a set number of classes per week based on their level (see the Level Requirements table below).

Each Cultivate dancer participates in the annual spring recital and may have additional performance opportunities throughout the season depending on their level.

• Regular Season Training begins: August

• Enrollment Fee: $99

• Monthly Tuition: All-inclusive, based on dancer’s level

Cultivate uses Bloom’s standard all-inclusive monthly tuition model. Your monthly payment covers:

The only additional costs are recital ticket purchases and the one-time $99 enrollment fee. Tuition amounts vary by level — contact us for a full breakdown.
