Advanced dancers who are classically trained and have strong technique en pointe are invited to audition.

Selected dancers are invited to join BRBT’s Company for the 2025-20256 season. Full company dancers will perform in a Fall mixed bill at Baton Rouge Magnet High School, and our main-stage productions, The Nutcracker – A Tale from the Bayou and the full-length storybook ballet, Rapunzel, in the Spring at the River Center Theatre of the Performing Arts.  Various Arts-in-Education and Community Outreach programs will be scheduled throughout the season.   Ranks of apprentice or trainee will be assigned to dancers who require additional training to improve their technique, strength, or coordination.  Apprentices and trainees will be cast according their abilities while receiving valuable experience working alongside the company.  They may also be invited to understudy higher level roles as part of their training experience with BRBT.
