Cultivate is Bloom’s skill-based training track for dancers ages 7–18 who are ready to grow, take on new challenges, and receive thoughtful feedback. It’s designed to support dedicated dancers looking to strengthen their skills in a positive, encouraging environment. Save the date for Cultivate Auditions on Saturday, April 18th, 2026.

  • Cultivate is designed for dancers who want to make dance their primary focus.

    Dancers will:
    ✔ Be challenged in Ballet, Jazz, and Modern training.
    ✔ Experience a focused and disciplined year-round classroom environment.
    ✔ Ensure continued growth and consistency with required summer training.
    ✔ Engage in Progress Reports, Teacher Conferences, Ballet Vocabulary Quizzes and end-of-year Evaluations!
    ✔ Transition out of age-based ballet and jazz classes, while continuing Tap, Hip Hop, Musical Theater, Seeds, and Contemporary at their age level.
    ✔ Utilize Bloom’s 12-month year-round tuition structure that covers monthly tuition, summer programming, costumes, and performance tickets (launching mid-2026).

  • ✔ Minimum 7 years old by October 1st of the season
    ✔ Recommended one year of age-based ballet

    ✨ Best for dancers who have completed at least one year of age-based ballet, take classes for at least 2 hours a night already and want a more rigorous training experience.

    Our next formal Cultivate Audition date is Saturday, April 18th, 2026. Please save this date for the opportunity to join the 2026-2027 season.

    • Auditions determine your dancer’s readiness for the program based on class taking skills and demonstration of technique for their age.

    • Placement Classes determine which level your dancer will be in for the upcoming year and prepare them for that level.

    • Progression to a higher level is based on technique, not age.

    • Each dancer should expect to remain in a level for 1-3 years before advancing.

FAQS:

What are the class requirements for each Cultivate level?

Each Cultivate level has a set of required classes that dancers must take each season. These classes are carefully selected to support well-rounded training and help dancers build strength, technique, and confidence as they progress.

As dancers move up through the levels, the number of required classes increases to match their growing skill and readiness. Class requirements include a mix of ballet, jazz, modern, stretch/strength, and, at higher levels, pre-pointe or pointe (by approval).
