Session Description

Our Mission The Ballet North Texas Trainee Program exists to cultivate the next generation of professional dancers by offering meaningful performance opportunities, immersive technical training, and direct experience within a professional company setting. Through participation in both mainstage productions and community outreach performances, trainees develop as artists while contributing to BNT’s mission of enriching the North Texas community through exceptional dance. The growth and visibility of our trainees strengthen the company’s long-term vision and artistic foundation. Training The Ballet North Texas Trainee Program offers a comprehensive training schedule designed to support each dancer’s technical refinement and artistic growth. Trainees receive instruction in classical ballet, pointe, variations, contemporary, modern, and conditioning, along with dedicated rehearsal time to prepare for company productions and outreach performances. While technical excellence remains the foundation, a strong emphasis is placed on performance readiness—developing the discipline, stamina, and versatility required for company-level work, touring, and public engagements. The full value of the Trainee Program is $9,000 per year; however, each dancer accepted into the program receives a partial scholarship, reducing the total tuition to $5,500 per year. This investment includes daily training with Ballet North Texas’s artistic staff, individual coaching, and valuable performance experience as part of the company’s season.
