Collide Theatrical’s Apprentice Program is an audition-based professional training program designed to provide the skills needed to pursue formal positions within the Collide Company and in the world of theater dance. This is a 9-month training program with 3 trimesters (September-November, December-February, and March-May). Interested dancers must sign up for a minimum of 3 months, or 1 trimester.
Selected Apprentice dancers will take technique class with the Company 2-3 days a week, participate in a cabaret performance, and have opportunities to appear in Collide shows and/or understudy roles. Throughout the program, dancers will have an opportunity to be mentored by Collide’s artistic staff, train alongside professional Company members, and receive education that is individually tailored to their goals and needs. The technical classes include a variety of styles rooted in ballet and jazz, including tap, acting for dance, hip-hop, and more. Apprentice dancers will also have an opportunity to participate in quarterly master classes with Broadway touring dance captains and industry professionals.
This is a tuition-based program. Scholarships are available for underrepresented artists. Participants must be over the age of 18. Enrollment is competitive and audition-based.
To be considered, please submit a video of you dancing (ideally jazz or ballet) to auditions@collidetheatrical.org. Videos should be under 2 minutes long. Please also include in your email a performance/education resume and a headshot, if you have them.
