Ballet Montreal Junior Company

This is a unique and artistic experience bringing young dancers into direct contact with the creative process and all its different aspects, both human and technical. Participating in the junior company will provide an exceptional apprenticeship in classical ballet.

​

The junior Company performs in different venues throughout the year, such as: Starlight foundation fundraising event for sick children and the CIBC Canadian Breast Cancer Foundation gala.


Junior company dancers also have the opportunity to work with a range of guest choreographers
throughout the year.



Candidates must request an audition to join the company or be invited by the Artistic Director.
