RBC Apprentice Programme

Over the past 11 years, the RBC Apprentice Programme has played a vital role in The National Ballet of Canada’s mission to attract and nurture top talent from across Canada and the world. The Programme was designed to give young dancers a way to successfully bridge the gap between an academic environment and a professional one, easing the transition to a performance-based setting. Over one to two years, the Apprentices receive dedicated classes, repertoire coaching, body conditioning instruction and performance opportunities.

This year, the RBC Apprentices performed in 22 YOU dance performances and 69 full company performances, including 15 on tour to Ottawa, San Francisco and Paris, France.
