Youth and Adult Dance at Colburn is part of the Trudl Zipper Dance Institute, which also includes the Dance Academy, a rigorous ballet training program for young people ages 14–19. Led by Dean Silas Farley and Associate Dean Darleen Callaghan, the Trudl Zipper Dance Institute is dedicated to developing the talent and ambitions of its students.

Student Registration

Space in the Trudl Zipper Dance Institute is limited, and priority registration is given to our returning students. If you have never been enrolled in dance at the Colburn School, or if your attendance has lapsed for at least one year, then you are designated as a new student.

New students must schedule a placement class to be accepted and placed in the proper level unless they are registering for classes in our Beginning Dance Program. The audition also determines placement in the proper course level.

The registration period for the 2022–23 year opens on July 15, 2022 for returning students and August 2, 2022 for new students. The school year begins September 6, 2022 and runs through May 27, 2023.

To register, log into your existing account (returning students) or create an account (new students) with our online registration system ASAP Connected.
