Boston Ballet School’s Graduate Program introduces young artists to the responsibilities, expectations, and daily life of a professional dancer. This unique, season-long program prepares the next generation of ballet dancers for the transition from student to professional. Operating on a full-time schedule, the Graduate Program is designed for students who are at least 18 years old and have completed their academic grade school education. Graduates train, rehearse, and perform alongside Boston Ballet’s second company (Boston Ballet II) and Boston Ballet’s main company. Graduates develop both their technical skills and their artistry through consistent daily training and dedicated performances throughout the year. This holistic approach helps young emerging professionals understand their role as a well-rounded working artist. This tuition-free program offers 5 to 6 days per week of formal training and rehearsal with Boston Ballet School faculty and Boston Ballet Artistic staff. The Graduate Program offers a rigorous and consistent schedule within a tightknit, supportive environment.
