    Stylistic & Technical Requirements:
    The “contemporary” in our name denotes the fact that we perform a large number of new ballets; but those works are based on the classical tradition. Therefore, we seek dancers with exemplary classical skills. Balanchine training provides an excellent background for the work we do.

  • For Company, Apprentice, and Trainee Auditions, in-person auditions are required.
