Ballet Magnificat is honored to be home to one of the first Christian Trainee Programs in the world. With over 500 graduates from over 15 nations (the United States, New Zealand, Australia, China, Malaysia, Germany, Japan, South Korea, Poland, Ukraine, Russia, France, Canada, South Africa, and Israel). The Trainee Program has proven effective in preparing young artists for professional careers with the Company of Ballet Magnificat. In addition, Trainee Program graduates have gone on to be successful in other dance companies, arts and ministry organizations, and schools across the world. The mission of the Trainee Program is to establish Jesus Christ as the foundation in the life of every Trainee. Ballet Magnificat’s desire is to equip the trainees technically and artistically to bring God glory both on and off the stage. The Trainee Program not only equips dancers with our unique technique style and choreography, but also with discipleship courses and devotional times. The Program is designed so that trainees emerge as not just stronger dancers, but stronger Christians.

All levels of the program are taught by the faculty of Ballet Magnificat! and the Trainee Program Staff. Each day begins with a morning worship and prayer time where all members of Ballet Magnificat! join together. This is followed by Technique class, lunch break, and two afternoon classes. Afternoon classes include: Contemporary, Conditioning, Pointe, Variations, Discipleship/Bible study, and Trainee Company rehearsals. The Trainee Program of Ballet Magnificat! uses a Vaganova syllabus, modified to Ballet Magnificat!’s unique style. The Trainee Program follows the calendar of the Jackson Public School system, September through May.
