BTC’s Junior Corps de Ballet provides numerous performance opportunities alongside BTC’s resident professional company. This elite group is by-audition only, and accepted members attend Junior Corps de Ballet class in addition to their training regimen at The School of Ballet Theatre Company, and are invited to train weekly alongside BTC’s professional dancers in company class.
The Overview
Ballet Theatre Company (BTC) offers students a unique opportunity for young aspiring dancers to perform in professional ballet productions as part of BTC’s Junior Corps de Ballet. Dancers placed in The School of Ballet Theatre Company’s (SBTC) Pointe III or IV level are eligible to audition to be a member of BTC’s
Junior Corps de Ballet. Dancers placed in SBTC’s Pointe II & III level are eligible to audition to be an apprentice of BTC’s
Junior Corps de Ballet.
The mission of BTC’s Junior Corps de Ballet is to provide serious dancers the opportunity to train at a high caliber, experience professional dance at a young age, and, if interested, prepare for a future in dance. Members of the Corps de Ballet learn the importance of discipline and goal setting, leadership skills, working well with others, and professionalism in and out of the performing arts world.
Junior Corps de Ballet dancers rehearse repertoire, are given several performance opportunities, and are exposed to studio choreographic processes not only with BTC’s Artistic Staff, but with guest artists throughout the year. Members may also be considered for the opportunity to dance alongside professional dancers in large stage productions. It is understood, however, that performing is a privilege and not a right. It is not guaranteed that all members or apprentices of the Junior Corps de Ballet will be invited to participate in every performance. Any dancers who are not selected to perform will be expected to assist with the performance in some capacity.
