Launch Your Professional Ballet Career with Ballet Greenville
Program Dates: August 2026 – May 2027
Ballet Greenville invites highly motivated and professionally trained ballet dancers (ages 18+) to audition for our Pre-Professional Program. Under the artistic direction of Hernan Justo and Associate Director Anita Pacylowski, this program bridges the crucial gap between advanced training and the next stage of a dancer’s artistic and professional journey.
The program is designed as a focused transitional experience, with participation for up to three years. During this time, dancers refine their technique, artistry, and professional readiness while exploring the many pathways available to them—whether in professional dance or other meaningful pursuits. At the conclusion of the three-year maximum, participants are expected to move forward to their next chapter.
