Dancers interested in the Ballet Company must be proficient in an advanced/intermediate knowledge of diverse ballet vocabulary and technical execution as time is focused on technical advancement and rehearsal, rather than foundational learning and vocabulary.
It is a safe space of challenge, exploration, discovery, and creation.
