Junior Performance Ensemble
Expanding Artistry through performance
Ballet Co.Laboratory's Junior Performance Ensemble is for dancers who are looking for more performance experiences at a high level of training. Ensemble dancers serve as ambassadors of Ballet Co.Laboratory and dance, making the art form more accessible to our community.
Two sessions are offered throughout the season and dancers may take one or both sessions. Junior Performance Ensemble members will also have the opportunity to perform in various outreach performances in addition to the productions listed below.
Drop-In classes are available to take as Ensemble dancer desires throughout dates of Junior Performance Ensemble session.
