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.
Three sessions are offered throughout the season and dancers may take any one or all sessions. Junior Performance Ensemble members will also have the opportunity to perform in various outreach performances in addition to the productions listed below.
Eligibility: 4+ years of pointe experience and/or are between the ages of 18-30.
Dancers are selected for the Junior Performance Ensemble by Ensemble Director, Genevieve Waterbury via audition or invitation. Dancers in the Junior Performance Ensemble must commit to all classes and rehearsals within each session of the Ensemble they are registered.

Choreography Mentorship Program with the Junior Performance Ensemble

The work will be performed in the Choreographer Showcase in November.
