ProArteDanza Apprenticeship Program

ProArteDanza provides a platform that spans the boundaries of technical skill and artistic expression. Crossing generations, disciplines and artistic visions allows the company to build a new, cohesive and inclusive world for many dancers, and to develop audiences hungry for great dance. At the conclusion of the SIP, ProArteDanza will extend an invitation to one of the program's dancers, to work with the company on a piece (either a new creation, or a remount from the company's repertoire) for an upcoming performance.

"Working closely with such established artists was initially intimidating, but everyone was so gracious and welcoming, I was quickly made to feel comfortable and welcome. Rehearsals were unforgiving and professional, as those involved have such a strong, demanding and professional work ethic. At the same time they were light-hearted and extremely exhilarating. I learned something different but equally inspiring from each artist, seeing firsthand how they work at their craft. It has undoubtedly left its mark on me as an artist and performer. I had seen ProArteDanza perform for the past few years, but only now do I truly understand why the mandate is "passion in performance". Every individual involved is fully invested and it was definitely an eye-opening experience, to be able to work with a professional and critically acclaimed company, coming from a school environment."
