Trainee & Apprentice Programs
The Trainee and Apprentice Programs at Ballet Project OC are designed to bridge the gap between the advanced student and the professional ballet world. Participants in these programs receive professional exposure and the opportunity to progress in their careers. With a focus on professional, technical, musical, and artistic development, Trainees and Apprentices engage in daily classes and rehearsals guided by the director and lead artistic staff. Trainees may have the chance to understudy and potentially perform roles, while Apprentices perform alongside the company. Ballet Project OC's diverse repertory, including late 19th-century works and new ballets, offers a well-rounded experience for dancers looking to grow as performers.
Auditions are required. Contact info@balletprojectoc.org
