Illinois Dance Conservatory Summer Program

Illinois Dance Conservatory runs a comprehensive summer dance program from June 29 to July 22, 2026. The Pre-Academy program serves ages 3-5 with pre-ballet and tap classes nurturing coordination and rhythm. The Academy program serves ages 6+ across five levels, each building technique, confidence and artistry through ballet, jazz and lyrical instruction. Advanced dancers ages 9+ can enroll in summer intensive programs, with the Level 6/Senior Pre-Professional track featuring ballet technique, pointe or pre-pointe, variations, contemporary and performance rehearsals. Most classes meet mornings or late afternoons, with tuition ranging from $45 to $1250 depending on level and session length. All students participate in a final end-of-summer performance.
