Providence Creek Ballet Theater’s Company, along with our Apprentice and Trainee dancers, form a dedicated and talented group, training for 12 or more hours each week to perfect their craft. Their training spans multiple disciplines, including ballet, pointe, tap, jazz, lyrical, and modern dance. Each year, these dancers are invited to participate in prestigious festivals such as the Youth Dance Fest and the Regional Dance America/Northeast Festival. They also have the opportunity to collaborate with nationally recognized choreographers, learning and performing original repertory pieces. The Company, Apprentice, and Trainee dancers showcase their talents at PCBT’s annual Arts Gala each spring, reflecting the exceptional skill and dedication required at this pre-professional level.
