While most professional ballet school and dance schools offering an intensive ballet training program in the United States open their programs only to older children, mostly high school students, NEBC admits children as young as 10. Older candidates may apply and those admitted are individually integrated into the program. However, the admission requirements become more demanding for the more advanced levels of the program. Students are selected through a two stage audition process. NEBC's Professional Program is based on a six year syllabus program based on the French school of classical ballet. Almost four centuries old, the French School has evolved to train highly talented ballet dancers capable of performing the classics in the purest form but also a versatile range of choreographic styles. It is the goal of the NEBC's Professional Program to transmit the tradition of French classical ballet to form professional dancers whose technique and artistic abilities and skills able them to succeed in the best dance companies.
