Collective
Formerly the Affiliates Program
Take your ballet training further: Add Alberta Ballet
Ballet Collective expands access to Alberta Ballet’s training approach, connecting experienced young dancers from across the province through monthly classes in Calgary and Edmonton.
Rooted in the same training, artistry and commitment to excellence that defines Alberta Ballet and used at Alberta Ballet School, Ballet Collective connects dancers to our approach.
Classes take place on performance weekends, so dancers travelling to train for Ballet Collective can also use the trip to see Alberta Ballet’s productions. Watching how professional dancers move on stage and bring the choreography to life can broaden your perspective on what is possible through dance. Exclusive ticket discounts make it easy to bring that inspiration back into the studio.
Open to dancers ages 10–17 with prior experience, Ballet Collective supports technical growth, confidence, and a deeper connection to the art form.
