Open Door Studios
3706 Central Avenue, Charlotte
For the dancer pursuing artistic excellence.
This opportunity for dancers 18+ with at least 5 years of ballet training is a non-commital way for you to dance with members of our main company!
Participation in BalletFools Company Class by invitation only. If you have not received a personal invitation from the Artistic Director, we'd still like to meet you. You may request consideration by emailing info@balletfools.com BEFORE making your purchase. This process is required even if you have been referred by a company dancer.
Company Class Guest Passes can be purchased in blocks of 1, 3, or 6.
Purchasing a Company Class Guest Pass is not necessary when scheduling an audition. There is no fee to audition for the company. This option is for educational and training purposes only.
Tuition and fees for Company Class and Master Classes directly support BalletFools in covering the expenses associated with space rentals, costumes, and performance.
Session fees are non-refundable but are transferable
👉 IMPORTANT: This is not an Open Door Studios class. BalletFools maintains its own professional culture and philosophy independent of the host facility. Proper etiquette and attire for ballet class should be observed and corrections should be expected. 👈

TRAINEE & APPRENTICE PROGRAMS
Are you interested in performing with the company but don't yet meet our age requirement? We have two ways for you to join us that might be a perfect fit for you!
Dancers 26-29 years old can work with BalletFools through our Apprentice Program. Apprentices take class weekly with the main company and rehearse and perform in our shows with us, dancing smaller roles and character parts with the occasional opportunity to serve as a soloist's understudy. Company Class free to apprentices.
Dancers age 18-25 who desire to have a performance career can gain exceptional training with a commitment to excellence by participating in the BalletFools Trainee Program. These dancers take technique class with the company and participate in rehearsals. For performances they appear as corp de ballet and character parts when needed. Trainees in the program take weekly company class as a requirement with the option to attend Musical Theatre Jazz. This is a tuition-based opportunity.
Apprentices and trainees are the future of BalletFools!
For more information on these performance programs, contact company@balletfools.com.
Book our artistic director Shon Wilson to guest teach at your studio.
