The Professional Preparatory Progam at Posey School is intended for serious students aged twelve through young adults who are preparing for a professional career in dance as a performing artist, teaching artist, or dance educator.

In addition to classes, students receive individual coaching and mentoring to reach their full potential. Students are expected to study for the entire school year including the summer program, and will be dismissed from the program for irregular attendance without refund of tuition. Depending on age and technical ability, students are expected to attend from three to ten classes weekly. In addition to classes, students receive one-on-one mentoring as well as opportunities to explore arts relative to their dance education.

For example, students attend ballet and dance performances on Long Island as well as in New York City, visit specified art museums and are assigned books to read. The Preparatory Program also provides students with opportunites to learn dance notation, performance, composition and choreography.
