Strong Training. Expansive Possibilities.
Boys and men are an active and valued part of Tye Chua Dance. Our male dancers train in an environment that develops classical technique, artistry, musicality, strength, versatility, and the confidence to pursue wherever dance may lead.
Male students accepted into full-time residential training at Interlochen Arts Academy.
Tye Chua-trained male dancers have continued into professional opportunities including Lyric Opera of Chicago.
Students receive the same thoughtful individual attention and progressive technical foundation that define all Tye Chua training, together with coaching and opportunities that recognize the particular experiences and possibilities available to male dancers.
Access & Opportunity
Talent, curiosity, and the desire to dance are found in every community. We work to create meaningful paths into training, regardless of a dancer’s financial circumstances, background, gender, or previous experience.
Scholarships & Tuition Support
Tye Chua Dance offers confidential, need-based financial assistance to help make consistent training possible. Families are encouraged to learn more and apply before assuming that dance education is beyond their reach.

Tuition reflects each dancer’s individual class schedule. You will be able to review the exact amount associated with your selected classes before completing enrollment.
Your Schedule Determines Your Tuition
Each class has an established rate based on its length and level. Full-season tuition is calculated according to the dancer’s selected weekly schedule and the number of instructional weeks in the season.
- Class rates vary according to class length and level.
- Recommended training frequency may increase as dancers progress through the curriculum.
- Company participation, drop-in classes, and certain special programs may have separate fees or registration processes.
Family Discounts
When more than one dancer from the same household registers, family discounts help make ongoing training more manageable.
Discounts are applied to qualifying family enrollments. Contact us when registering multiple dancers if the expected adjustment does not appear in your account.
