Company Auditions

*** We are no longer taking applications for the season. Thank you to all the applicants for their interest and enthusiasm. Stay tuned for more fantastic opportunities in the future.

We are currently seeking dancers for all positions in the ballet company (principals, soloists, corps members) for our 2023-2024 ballet season.

In addition to salary, dancers will have the opportunity to dance in 4 to 5 major productions per season, ranging from classical to contemporary repertoire. Columbia City Ballet is also a touring company, with all productions touring to various cities in the southeast. Additional benefits are:

  • Access to Medical Team, Physical Therapist, Chiropractor, and Counselors
  • In addition to company classes, free classes in the school from the Artistic Director and access to the entire Artistic Staff
