This after school programme is designed with the serious ballet student in mind, who might wish to join the Professional Training Programme. Students are selected by audition or invitation into the Pre-Professional Programme from the age of 9, and progress through six levels of intensive training.

Curriculum within the Pre-Professional Programme includes Ballet technique, Pre-pointe and Pointe, Character Dance and contemporary (Modern Dance). Classes are scheduled between 4:00 - 9:00 weekdays, and Saturday mornings between 9:00 - 1:00, with rehearsals scheduled on Saturday and Sunday afternoons.

Students are entered for Cecchetti and Royal Academy of Dance Vocational Graded examinations, and are assessed by examination in the Spring of each year by the staff of the Oakville School of Dance. Written reports are issued and interviews with parents and students ensure the progression of training in the correct manner.

At the Artistic Director's discretion, a Pre-Professional student may audition for the ½ day Professional Training Programme.
