pre-professional training.

Each summer, Ballet Bloom Project invites passionate student dancers to train, rehearse, and perform alongside a professional cast in the company's summer production. This immersive experience is designed for dancers (8–adult) who want to deepen their training—either to pursue a professional career or simply because they love to dance!

Created with local students in mind, this program's weekly rehearsal schedule is intended as a supplement to other summer dance intensives for those looking for even more training and additional performance opportunities.

This year, dancers will have the chance to perform in Rose Hutchins's contemporary ballet, The Little Mermaid, with original music by Evan Hart Marsh!
