Our Trainee Program offers a unique opportunity to continue training in a professional environment alongside the professional dancers of Michigan’s only professional ballet company, Grand Rapids Ballet. Created for those emerging dancers looking to bridge the gap between student life and a professional career, the Trainee Program is tuition-free and usually consists of 7-10 dancers each season. As a trainee, you will learn to excel in classical and contemporary ballet while performing works from master choreographers and emerging artists.
