THE COMPANY

Philadelphia Studio Ballet is now ready to announce the formation of a performing company. PSB is offering serious students the opportunity to participate in high quality productions throughout the year.  This opportunity provides a peek at the commitment necessary for a career in dance. Even if your child does not want to be a professional dancer, students gain invaluable experience performing in a professional environment, but ultimately, it is the excitement of being on stage that they cherish the most.  

 

Schedules are fairly demanding and company membership is not for everyone. Producing a quality production will require students to attend all classes and to participate in extra rehearsals. This requires significant commitment by the student, as well as his or her parent.

 

Our company will hold an annual performance of “The Nutcracker” as well as other productions throughout the year. For our “non-ballerinas” inclusion in our company is also possible as we will use our tap and jazz/hip-hop students to round out our programs.

 

Nutcracker auditions will be held in September and students, level pre-3 and above who wish to participate may audition at that time or by appointment. Dancers can expect to rehearse Saturday afternoons and as the performance date grows closer, rehearsals are often held on Sunday afternoons as well.

Ballet students in Level 1 and above who wish to participate must attend class at least twice a week.

Artistically, I am thrilled to announce collaboration with a renowned school of music for a spring concert and summer symposium. Participation is open to all company members, level pre-3 and above, and audition is required! Specific details will follow later.

There is an annual participation fee for company members. Fees are standard for studio companies and PSB’S cost is comparable. This helps offset the expense of costumes, rehearsals, theatre rental and technical production.

                    This fee is not applied to our year end Showcase.
