Junior Company Auditions


As another step in promoting the arts, Ballet Arkansas will hold auditions for a junior company on August 2, 2009 at Shuffles & Ballet II, its official school.  We encourage dancers from across the state to audition.  The junior company will take class and rehearse with the professional dancers on Saturdays from 10 am to 5 pm.  The cost for the class/rehearsals will be $125 per month.  Ballet Arkansas has scheduled performances for Arts in Concert in October of 2009, The Nutcracker in December 2009 and a spring production with the ASYO in the spring of 2010.  Ballet Arkansas is committed to education in the arts and believes this is a wonderful opportunity for dancers to train with a professional dancers.
