CAP Program — Classical Academic Program
The OISD Classical Academic Program (CAP) is a specialized, pre-professional training program designed for dedicated dancers pursuing a future career in classical dance. This elite program offers a comprehensive and disciplined curriculum focused on classical ballet technique, artistry, and performance.
Dancers selected for the CAP Program will have exclusive opportunities to represent Orlando International School of Dance at prestigious national and international ballet competitions, including Youth America Grand Prix (YAGP), Universal Ballet Competition (UBC), World Ballet Competition (WBC), and more.
In addition to competition opportunities, CAP dancers may attend conventions, masterclasses, intensives, and special performances throughout the season — enriching their training, broadening their exposure to the professional dance world, and preparing them for future careers on stage.
This program is tailored for highly motivated students committed to advancing their technique, stage presence, and overall artistic development in a supportive yet rigorous environment.
