Description

NBT II is a specialized training bridge to NBT’s professional company. Under the direction of Don Bellamy, NBT II is designed for the pre-professional artist looking to build a foundation for a professional career. Artists selected for the second company will receive opportunities to train and rehearse alongside the professional artists of NBT, while being exposed to some of today’s leading choreographers and exciting repertoire including specially commissioned new works. Offering a varied daily schedule and a diverse curriculum of pointe, modern, variations and repertoire, including Pilates, resume skills, and audition preparation, this unique program will focus on strengthening technique and developing artistry with the goal to create a well-rounded professional dancer. Dancers of NBT II perform in the annual production of The Nutcracker and dancers may be selected to perform other repertoire during a performance season. Members of the second company will act as ambassadors by representing NBT as an organization in a variety of ways including community initiatives and appearances, and other activities related to NBT’s Community Education department that serves 20,000 Clark County students annually.
