American Ballet Theatre II October 24, 2008

American Ballet Theatre is recognized as one of the great dance companies in the world. Few ballet companies equal ABT for its combination of size, scope and outreach. Recognized as a living national treasure since its founding in 1940.

ABT II is a small classical company of thirteen young dancers of outstanding potential. In its thirteenth season, ABT II prepares these dancers to enter American Ballet Theatre. The dancers are handpicked from around the world by the artistic staff of American Ballet Theatre. ABT II dancers will train in the program for one or two years before joining American Ballet Theatre's main company.
