Our trainee program is a dancer’s first step towards a professional career.

Trainee Program

This program is by audition only and runs in conjunction with our award-winning pre-professional program. Trainee dancers have the opportunity to take company classes, attend company rehearsals, and perform in company productions. During off-season months, trainee dancers will continue their training with the Academy’s pre-professional program and are eligible to participate in competitions and Academy performances. If you are interested in auditioning for our Trainee Program, please contact us to schedule an in-person audition or you can email us your audition materials to include a video showcasing class work, a classical variation, and a contemporary solo.
