Description

The Trainee Program aims to nurture and develop the technical skills and artistry of young aspiring post-secondary dancers. This will ultimately prepare them for a professional dance career by bridging the gap between the student and KCB II. The Trainee class schedule runs from Tuesday – Saturday from late August to early May. Trainee classes may include: Ballet Technique, Pointe, Modern, Jazz/Fosse, Ballet History, PBT (Progressing Ballet Technique), Pas de Deux, and Improvisation. Trainees participate in some company classes and have the opportunity to be considered for performances with Kansas City Ballet Company during the season. Trainees also perform with KCB II in their own educational and community outreach performances throughout the year.
