Our audition-only division is intended for advanced dancers. The Texas Ballet Theater School Professional Division programs educate, train and prepare students for a career in professional dance.
Students concentrate on advancing technique and developing artistry through intensive full-day instruction. These comprehensive programs provide the experience necessary to transition from student to professional dancer, all while offering personal attention in an intimate, nurturing environment.
