Description

Apprentices will be invited to train, rehearse and perform with the professional company for a 1-2 year period. Candidates for the IB Apprentice program must have at least two years of professional dance experience, and training in the Balanchine technique is a plus.

Curriculum includes technique, pointe, variations, men’s class, adagio, modern, choreography, Pilates, strength training, and seminars on such topics as nutrition, personal safety, and injury prevention. Apprentices are considered for Company positions with Indianapolis Ballet. They will also have access to career counseling programs available through IB/ISB. Acceptance to the Indianapolis Ballet company apprentice program is by audition only. Active members of AGMA will have their registration fee waived (must provide proof of membership at on-site registration).
