Cleveland Ballet Debuts Trainee Program

 

 

Cleveland, OH- Cleveland Ballet's Trainee program is a unique 2-year program
that challenges aspiring professional ballet dancers to put the finishes
touches on their training while performing with Cleveland Ballet's
professional dancers.

 

Trainees' daily activities will include: company class, company rehearsals
during the early part of the day as well as advanced professional ballet
technique, pointe, variation and men's classes in the Professional Division
of the School.  

 

Open audition to dancers 17 to 22 with solid background in classical ballet
training, the Trainee Program prepares promising dancers for a successful
career with Cleveland Ballet as well as other professional dance companies.

 

The Trainee Program's tuition is purposely kept reasonable with the intent
of facilitating accessibility for a broad diversity of dancers.  We are
fully aware of the necessity for trainees to work to cover their expenses
while attending the program and that paying tuition on top of their expenses
could be tough.  Trainees only pay $300.00 per month, September to May, with
a total of $2,700.00 per year.

 

Trainees perform regularly in outreach settings and theatre performances.
Trainees will have the opportunity alongside Cleveland Ballet professional
dancers to perform at Playhouse Square, Severance Hall with The Cleveland
Orchestra, The Cleveland Museum of Art as well as numerous well recognized
arts venues in the City of Cleveland.

 

Each trainee term begins with the summer intensive program, following by
joining at the start of the Company's season.

 

Trainees are evaluated twice each year by Cleveland Ballet artistic staff to
receive detailed feedback on their progress.  The average length of training
in the Trainee program is 2 years.  Trainees who successfully graduate from
the program receive individual career advice, assistance and counseling
toward moving into a career in dance and professional performance.  Graduate
trainees are seriously considered for apprenticeship positions in Cleveland
Ballet as they become available, though such positions are not guaranteed.
