OBT2 Program
OBT2 is under the guidance of the OBT2 Program Director, and OBT’s Artistic and School Directors. OBT2 participates in daily technique classes and takes class with OBT’s professional company once per week.

OBT2 dancers understudy and perform professional company roles throughout the season in George Balanchine’s The Nutcracker® and other large-scale productions. In the spring, OBT2, performs alongside Trainee and OBT School students in the school’s annual performance, at the Newmark Theatre. They also perform in OBT2 specific productions as a part of their Spring Tour which takes place at the end of the season, typically April through June. OBT2 dancers are given a shoe allowance to be determined at the beginning of every season.
