Trainee Program
Trainees
OBT School’s Trainee Program is under the guidance of the OBT2 Program Director, and OBT’s Artistic and School Directors. The tuition-based program aims to nurture and develop the technical skills and artistry of young dancers. This program will prepare them for a professional dance career by bridging the gap between students and OBT2.
Trainees may be considered for performances with OBT’s professional company during the season, but performing with the company is not guaranteed. Trainees will perform alongside OBT2 in the spring OBT2 Tour and the school’s annual performance.
Tuition
2023-2024: $7,739 (AUGUST 28, 2023 – JUNE 8, 2024 – 35 Weeks)
*Limited need and merit-based scholarships available.
