Our Trainee Program provides the opportunity for dancers age 16 - 18 to take class alongside our professional Company Artists, and to learn original choreography during rehearsals as understudies. The goal of the program is to build upon young dancers' training in a professional environment, providing supplemental instruction in addition to their regular study and programming.
Trainees range from ages 16 - 18 as of June 1st, 2023
We are offering three sessions for our 2023-2023 Season, including:
Summer 2023
Fall 2023
Spring 2024
Trainees may participate in one session, or multiple sessions. Registration is required, and acceptance is by audition only.
