Details:

• Audition materials: Name, Headshot, dance shot, and résumé to info@ciballet.com with the subject line: AUDITION PRE-REGISTRATION.

• Minimum age 17 by August 2023. Unique cases to be determined on an individual basis.

• Training includes daily ballet class, along with access to advanced academy classes with styles including contemporary, jazz, modern, and tap.

• At least four main stage performances alongside the company, with potential additional activities such as community outreach and pop up shows.

• The small company environment of Central Illinois Ballet allows for unique experiences that are difficult to find in larger programs. Due to the relatively small size of the company, individual attention to the training and development of each of our artists is paramount.  Furthermore, in addition to developing personal artistry and technique, trainees will be able to witness firsthand other equally important parts of the full experience of creating a performance, including lighting, costuming, and backstage tech.

 

Other important information of note:

• Trainees are responsible for establishing their own housing arrangements, as Central Illinois Ballet does not provide year-round housing. Trainees must also secure their own transportation to and from the studio and performance venues. Assistance and resources for finding housing may be provided upon request.

• Program and participation fees will apply.

• Individual conferences will be held to discuss progress within the program and audition plans for the following season, as well as the potential for another traineeship or promotion into the main company.
