About the Program
The Ailey School's prestigious Scholarship Program offers financial support to students in the School's Professional Division (ages 17 to 21) who show the highest potential for a career in dance.
Curriculum
The Scholarship Program core curriculum consists of daily classes in ballet (which may include additional classes in pointe for intermediate/advanced students) along with Horton and/or Graham-based modern. Supplemental classes include jazz, tap, Dunham, West African, barre à terre, yoga, Gyrokinesis®, and body conditioning. Improvisation and dance composition classes are also offered.
Scholarship students also have the opportunity to audition for repertory workshops with guest artists that showcase the talents of the most advanced students. Workshops culminate with in-studio showings and performances at the Ailey Citigroup Theater at the end of each term.
