Providing numerous performance opportunities, both with professional and student productions, is a crucial component to the overall dance education for students at the Indiana Ballet Conservatory. Students gain valuable experience from studio instruction and preparation periods, rehearsals in the theater, and full performances with an audience of families, friends, and Indianapolis arts patrons.  Performances offer a chance for students to participate in a cumulative experience of their training in the studio, and to learn firsthand the artistry, expression, and technical excellence expected of accomplished artists.  Students also learn how to conduct themselves professionally backstage while working with a professional stage crew, and gain valuable lessons in teamwork, adaptability, and compliance.  Students at IBC will have the unique opportunity to perform works in the classical ballet repertoire, as well as original choreography by IBC artistic staff.
