Launch your dance journey with CCB2.

 

The training company.


CCB2 serves as a training institution for talented young dancers, typically aged 15-25, who demonstrate a strong commitment to their craft and aspire to pursue careers in dance, whether as dancers, teachers or choreographers. As a preparatory company, CCB2 is instrumental in shaping its participants' skills and future roles.

Guided by a team of internationally experienced CCB2 Coordinators/Instructors under the artistic direction of the Artistic Director, dancers at CCB2 collaborate closely with the Artistic Associate (AA) dancers. This collaborative effort is aimed at honing their abilities and preparing them for potential roles as company dancers in the future.

Daily involvement in company classes and active participation in rehearsals alongside AA dancers form integral components of the CCB2 dancer experience. Additionally, dancers engage in supplementary classes covering Classical Ballet, Pointe, Pas De Deux, and Contemporary dance throughout the week.

The CCB2 program spans one to three years, acting as a stepping stone for participants to progress into trainee and company roles within CCB's broader dance ecosystem.
