Open Call: Company, Chamber, and CCB2 Auditions!

July 24, 2018 by Canyon Concert Ballet

Auditions for Canyon Concert Ballet Company, Chamber, and CCB2 will be held Saturday, August 18 at 10am at CCB’s Old Town Studios, 1031 Conifer Street in Fort Collins.  We invite you to join us!

Company

CCB’s Company represents the organization’s most elite dancers.  These dancers are generally dancers who are at least 18 years old and have completed approximately 10 years of training.  They show personal and artistic maturity, are able to perform in a wide-range of styles, and are able to take on demi-soloist, soloist and principal roles, in addition to corps de ballet roles.  They should see themselves as ambassadors of the organization and mentors to its students.

As a semi-professional company, CCB sees itself as an organization that allows eligible dancers the opportunity to perform in top-notch, full-length classical ballets and smaller contemporary programs.  CCB provides these opportunities to both dancers who love to dance but have chosen different career pathways or as a stepping stone to full-time employment in a professional company.  As such, and as an unpaid company, CCB endeavors to try and work with these dancers to provide the most fruitful and equitable relationship possible.

CCB2

CCB2 is a training company for young, highly skilled dancers generally ages 16-18, who are showing a dedication to their training.  CCB2 dancers can be eligible for all company roles if they are technically and artistically ready and meet all eligibility requirements.  CCB’s commitment to these dancers to is to provide a clear training pathway and top-notched performing opportunities that will enable them to find a career in dance, if that is their choice.

Congratulations to Bella, Nani, and Tessa!

July 11, 2018 by Canyon Concert Ballet

Canyon Concert Ballet is so very thrilled to congratulate both Isabella Northburg and Nani Ross in their recent decisions to attend Boston Ballet and Colorado Ballet’s year-round programs respectively!  We also want to wish a hearty “good luck” to Tessa Rehbein who has joined the Hannah Kahn Dance Company in Denver, CO!  For dance teachers everywhere, it is one of our most supreme joys (with a tinge of sorrow) to see dancers we’ve helped train leave their “home” school and go on to further their training in pursuit of their professional dancing goals.

While many dancers are able to go on to wonderful dance careers while staying at their home schools like CCB, other dancers chose to pursue full-time training to achieve their goals.  The benefits of these training programs are obvious:  Six hours of dancing a day, diversified programming, and the possibility of a dancing job after graduation are the primary benefits and they are big ones!  The benefits of staying home are obvious and important too: longer time of familial nurturing and guidance, cost savings, the benefits of a more rigorous education, and the possibility of lead roles in large ballet productions.  These can be difficult choices!

This truly gives those of us who were part of these dancer’s training great pride and excitement.  Seeing Vera and Jacob off last year and Nani, Bella, and Tessa off this year means that CCB is doing things extremely well in terms of the education of the dancers!  This is indeed something to celebrate.  Best of luck, Nani, Bella, and Tessa!  Knock them dead and post lots on Instagram!
