San Francisco Ballet School Trainee Program

San Francisco Ballet School’s Trainee Program is a one- to two-year pre-professional training track for dancers aged 16-19, bridging the transition from student to professional career. Trainees receive full tuition scholarships and housing assistance, train alongside the main company, and perform corps de ballet roles in full-length productions. Since 2004, 100% of Trainees have gone on to professional engagements.
