Specialties
The Boca Ballet Theatre is a nonprofit organization with a focus on training necessary for classical ballet and concert dance. Dancers should be given a level of physical training to compete internationally. Dancers should know the history of ballet and have a working knowledge of the classics. Dancers need to be challenged by varying styles of dance and choreography. Dancers need the experience of performing in full-scale professional level productions. Dancers also need to work side-by-side with, and get to know, professional dancers working in all aspects of the field. Through mentorship and guidance BBT provides a sense of reality and inspiration, as well as a heightened level of artistry in our productions.
