At Collage Dance, we are more than a conservatory. We are a community.

From the very beginning, we’ve been dedicated to providing world-class training in a nurturing environment where every student, regardless of background, can grow, thrive, and be inspired.

But sustaining that mission takes all of us!

While the average family pays just over $1,000 per year for tuition, the actual cost of delivering our comprehensive training and resources is more than $2,000 per student. This year, we’re asking each Conservatory student to help us BRIDGE THE GAP!
