Chicago Festival Ballet’s Studio Company provides advanced students with the training and experience needed to pursue a professional dance career. Studio Company members are selected by audition only, as well as during VH Dance Center’s Summer Intensive Program. Studio Company members expand their repertoire in ballet, pointe, jazz dance, character and contemporary dance. Dancers are featured in Chicago Festival Ballet’s Nutcracker and Spring Ballet performances, alongside professional dancers, and in local community outreach performances. This professional exposure is an indispensable and important part of their training, giving them the opportunity to understudy professional roles, and appear regularly on stage with Chicago Festival Ballet and in Studio Company productions. Studio company dancers' headshots will be featured on our website.
