Summer intensive scholarships
Places at summer intensives offered by ABA and by participating partner schools, academies and pre-professional programmes.
Beyond the score
The award is earned on stage. The opportunity begins beyond it.
Scholarships, invitations, master classes and training opportunities — offered by American Ballet Awards and its partner institutions, and independent of score and placement.
Competition with a future in mind
Awards matter. Placement matters. The opportunity to stand among the strongest dancers in a competitive field should mean something. But an exceptional competition should also create opportunities for what comes next.
American Ballet Awards connects competitive achievement with education and advancement. Throughout each event, dancers may participate in classes with respected professionals, be considered for scholarships and training opportunities, and gain exposure to programs that can become part of the next chapter of their development.
Our goal is not simply to identify exceptional dancers. It is to help develop them.
