Established in 2002, the PreProfessional Company is for young dancers who are dedicated to becoming tomorrow’s professionals. Dancers must be invited by Director Tracey Bayly to be a member in one of the eight divisions of the PreProfessional Company.
A rigorous schedule of training and rehearsals prepares dancers for performances throughout the year. PrePro dancers perform the most challenging roles in The Nutcracker and Spring Concert productions.
