The Soloist Initiative program is designed to provide Level 4A-6B* dancers with an opportunity to learn and perform classical and contemporary ballet solos. Participating students retain and work with a private coach (selected from among the BTCA faculty by the Artistic Director) on a weekly basis for each of their solos. Solos will be presented twice during the year: at a “work in progress” showcase at BTCA (February), and at the Annual Student Showcase (May/June).
Soloist Initiative participants may also be offered the opportunity to participate in certain international ballet competitions throughout the year at the discretion of the BTCA Artistic Staff.
There is no extra registration fee for this program, however private coaching fees will be charged in addition to the regular class tuition. For details refer to our Registration & Tuition page.
Interested students should speak to the Artistic Staff about participation for the upcoming year during the summer or by the beginning of August at the latest.
*Lower/Middle Division dancers may be accepted pending faculty approval.
