Happy New Year! We hope everyone enjoyed the holiday break. All classes will resume as normally scheduled starting today, Monday, January 7, 2019. We look forward to seeing students back in the studios this week!
Cincinnati Ballet's Summer Intensive Audition Tour is officially underway! Our nationally recognized six-week programs provide intensive training designed to cultivate individual potential. Acceptance into the Summer Intensive and Collegiate Intensive is by audition only. Students must be at least 12 years of age by June 17 to be eligible to audition.
Our Summer Intensive and Collegiate Intensive run June 17 - July 26, 2019. Any eligible Academy student interested in attending must audition. Our final Cincinnati audition is at the Ballet Center on January 27, 2019. The audition fee is waived for current students, but you’re encouraged to pre-register online. The link below includes a promo code especially for current Academy students. When you complete the registration form for your chosen audition, the fee will be waived once you get to your cart. If you run into any trouble, you can manually enter promo code 3938, or call 513.562.1111 for assistance.
With the arrival of the winter months, below is
a quick review of how the Academy communicates about severe weather or other
unexpected events. You can find updates about class cancellations and
school closure via the following channels:
- Cincinnati Ballet Website: www.cballet.org/academy
- Notifications via Remind
- Facebook: Cincinnati Ballet Otto M. Budig Academy
Should severe weather occur or be imminent, we encourage you to check in frequently throughout the day, as closure status may change pending information from our trusted sources. If the Academy ever remains open during winter weather and you feel it is unsafe to send your student, please contact the front desk, and the student's absence will be excused.
Cincinnati Ballet extended a warm winter welcome to young dancers at last week’s Winter Dance Camp, with three days of crafts, games, and ballet classes to kick off the new year. Take a look at some cozy highlights!
Congratulations to the young performers who helped make The Nutcracker the sensation of the season once again in 2018. "It is always such a treat seeing our students onstage during The Nutcracker! The excitement and joy each of them brought to the stage is what Nutcracker is truly about." - Academy Director, Sarah Hairston
