Pre-Professional Dance Training in Berlin | Balance 1 Academy

🪐 Exclusive 9-Month Pre-Professional Track: Your Stepping Stone to a Dance Career

Our 9-month pre-professional dance training program in Berlin is specifically designed for ambitious dancers who want to prepare intensively for upcoming entrance auditions at major academies and conservatories, such as our professional dance program.
By training directly alongside the official vocational students of our education program, you enjoy the unique privilege of experiencing firsthand what it feels like to complete a professional stage dance program.
You will be training in our historic Villa Balance—a light-filled venue with high ceilings, spring-loaded floors, and a supportive artistic community.
To take advantage of this high-level opportunity, you must already possess solid foundational dance experience and successfully pass an entrance audition.
Tip: If you currently have limited technical background, we highly recommend applying for our 5-month Dance Intensive Program instead.
All classes are conducted bilingually in English and German.
