Students of the North Carolina Dance Theatre School of Dance have the opportunity to perform with the professional company at the Blumenthal Performing Arts Center in some of the larger ballets in the repertoire. Each year over 100 students perform in the Company’s annual production of Nutcracker with the Charlotte Symphony Orchestra.

Ballet 1 through Pre- professional Levels have performed with North Carolina Dance Theatre’s professional artists at the Blumenthal Performing Arts Center in the following ballets:

Student Performing Companies
Student Ensemble - Ballet 3 - Ballet 5
Junior Ensemble - Pre-Professional Intermediate/Advanced Level
Repertory Ensemble - Pre-Professional Advanced Level, Trainees & Apprentices

Membership in these student companies allows dancers to support their classroom training with valuable performance experience. Students work with a variety of choreographers who challenge them in classical and contemporary works. Each company has its own annual performance as well as appearances in a variety of local venues and regional dance festivals. The NC Dance Theatre Repertory Ensemble is an honor company with SERBA, an affiliate of Regional Dance America.
