TO MAKE GREAT WORK, AND TO MAKE A GREAT PLACE TO WORK

We strive to create a company culture in which the daily process is as rewarding as the result. We are interested in developing long-term relationships with dancers and helping them achieve their fullest potential.

ACB offers a 38 week contract with 60-70 performances. The pay rate is $350-$1,000 per week plus physical therapy, and pointe shoes are provided.

Stylistic & Technical Requirements:
The “contemporary” in our name denotes the fact that we perform a large number of new ballets; but those works are based on the classical tradition. Therefore, we seek dancers with exemplary classical skills. Balanchine training provides an excellent background for the work we do.

For Company, Apprentice, and Trainee Auditions, in-person auditions are required. Click here for details about our Trainee program.
