In the spirit of equality and togetherness, I have decided to do away with the company rankings for the coming season and instead have one cohesive company.  Dancers will still be cast in roles according to level, with more difficult/featured dancing roles going to more advanced dancers, however, it is important to understand that all members of the company are equally important and valued. 

Thank you for auditioning—I know it is not an easy process.  Thank you, also, for your continued dedication and trust in me to make these difficult decisions.

Pre-professional students in our ballet program often go on to dance professionally, in college, on Broadway, or become professional teachers or studio owners themselves.
