International Trainee and Apprentice Program (ITAP)

The Atlantic City Ballet's International Trainee and Apprentice Program (ITAP) is the perfect program for dancers who seek a professional career in dance. The ITAP Students have the opportunity to dance with the Atlantic City Ballet.

This tuition based program provides the experience necessary to ease the transition from student to professional dancer, all while offering personal attention in a small, nurturing environment.

Limited to only 20 students, ITAP is the training ground for future AC Ballet company members.

Trainees will also have the opportunity to perform in AC Ballet's  programs and will be part of Atlantic City Ballet's Corps de ballet.

The program is for 11 weeks. The program starts January 29 to April 14, 2024.

There are two performances of Swan Lake.  One on  April 13 at Caesar’s Circus Maximus Theater and the other is on April 14 at the Strand theater.  The trainees will have the opportunity to dance in these performances at the end of their training.

Also, at the end of the ITAP program, Trainees will have the chance to to be chosen for the company for season 2024-2025 season.
