Ballet Honors
This branch of the Company focuses on pre-professional classical ballet training and is designed to prepare dancers for a professional career in dance. These dancers attend semi-private training sessions throughout the week, as well as an exclusive weekly Ballet Honors class. DYB Honors students also have the opportunity to learn ballet repertoire and classical variations to be performed at ballet-exclusive competitions and other performance events.
Acceptance to this program is by audition or invitation only.
