Review your acceptance.
Register for the program and session identified in your acceptance email. If you would like to change sessions or explore another program, contact us before completing registration.
Your offer is program-specific. Acceptance to one program does not automatically include admission to another. Any preparation requirements listed in your offer still apply.

Create & develop
Develop your choreographic voice through mentorship, creation, and feedback.

Complete your enrollment.
- Open your enrollment instructions. Use the direct registration link in your acceptance email when provided.
- Sign in or create your registration account. Select your approved program and session.
- Complete participant information. Check contact details, emergency contacts, and all requested health and participation information.
- Review your charges and awards. Confirm tuition, applicable registration fees, housing, and any scholarship or financial aid.
- Submit the required payment. Acceptance alone does not complete enrollment.
If an awarded scholarship, financial aid amount, or year-round student rate does not appear as expected, contact our team before completing payment.
Review deposits & deadlines.
A $500 tuition deposit is due at registration. If purchasing housing, a separate $200 housing deposit is required. Deposits count toward your tuition and housing totals.
March 31, 2027: Remaining tuition and housing balances are due, and housing registration closes.
If registering after March 31, subject to program availability, tuition and applicable fees are due in full at registration.
Registration fees and deposits are non-refundable and non-transferable. Housing fees are also non-refundable and non-transferable. Review the full payment and withdrawal policies before enrolling.
Reserve housing & plan travel.
Optional housing is available for eligible participants in Summer Intensive, Choreography Intensive, and Pas de Deux Intensive. Confirm arrangements for your selected program.
Complete housing registration by March 31, 2027. Registering for tuition does not automatically reserve housing.
Before purchasing travel, review your assigned check-in, checkout, and transportation instructions. Housing arrival and departure dates may differ from class dates.
Read your program materials.
Review the current handbook, policies, schedule, and preparation instructions for your program. If you have not received these materials, please request a copy.
Complete all required forms and policy agreements in your registration account. Adult participants complete their own agreements; a parent or guardian must complete required agreements for minors.
Your registration is complete when required payments, forms, and agreements have been submitted.
Summer Intensive placement
Summer Intensive placement classes take place at the beginning of each session. Placement is determined by the artistic staff and may be adjusted during the program as appropriate.
Specialty program preparation
Choreography and Pas de Deux participants should follow their program-specific preparation instructions. Pas de Deux participants must complete Ballet Five Eight’s three-week session or a comparable intensive beforehand and arrive actively training and prepared for the program’s physical demands.
Come ready to grow.
Programs take place at Ballet Five Eight’s 12,000-square-foot facility with five studios in Orland Park, Illinois.
Ballet Five Eight is rooted in the Christian faith and welcomes dancers from all backgrounds and beliefs. We value each person’s dignity and seek to build a community shaped by respect, thoughtful instruction, and encouragement.
Summer Intensive community and discussion times focused on life and faith are optional.
