What can Summer Intensive mean for you?
You may be considered for BalletMet's Pre-Professional Program or a Trainee position.
Our Academy is one of the country's largest training institutions associated with a professional dance company. Personnel from the company interact with students, offering unique learning experiences to develop technical and artistic skills.
High school students may be considered for the Academy's Pre-Professional Program. Graduates of this program are under contract with BalletMet and other companies in the U.S. and abroad. Dancers in the Summer Workshop will be under consideration for inclusion in this year-round Program. If you are interested in being considered, speak to the Academy Director.
Dancers on the threshold of a performing career can be selected through the Summer Workshop audition process to be considered for a Traineeship, designed to help bridge the gap between being a student dancer and attaining a professional career. Trainees earn a one-year opportunity to work with BalletMet's professional company while continuing to work on their technique. Trainees may receive a stipend and shoe allowance.
