PRE-PROFESSIONAL DIVISION
Beginning at age 9, students may audition for The Georgia Ballet's Pre-Professional Division, an accelerated training program designed for dedicated dancers who wish to pursue ballet at a higher level. Placement is based on technical ability, artistic potential, and readiness for the program.
​
Students train three to seven days per week, depending on their level, receiving comprehensive instruction designed to prepare them for collegiate and professional opportunities. Dancers in the Pre-Professional Division regularly earn acceptance and scholarships to prestigious summer intensives across the country and internationally, and have been recognized for their excellence at leading ballet competitions, including the Youth America Grand Prix (YAGP) and Universal Ballet Competition (UBC).
STUDENT TRAINEE
Upon completion of the Conservatory Program for 1 year a C3/5 dancer may be asked to be a part/full time Student Trainee. Student Trainees are in the studio up to 34.5 hours a week, rehearsing with the Company and in their required School classes with the Conservatory level 3/5. Dancers must have flexible schooling to accommodate this rigorous schedule.
