The Ballet Company is designed for dancers who are serious about their commitment to dance training. Ballet company members invest a significant amount of time and effort in classes, rehearsals, and performances. Expectations for dance company members are high, and in return each dancer receives support for their training plan. RDT’s ballet audition determines acceptance into the company as well as placement in the appropriate level (1 through 14).

The PreProfessional Company is an additional company within the Roswell Dance Theatre. Dancers who have completed at least one year in the Ballet Company are eligible to be considered for PrePro. Students are observed and evaluated throughout the year. Acceptance into PrePro is by invitation and PrePro results are posted along with Company results.

Please see our Intro to Companies for more information about the 2025-26 season.
