Our Junior Course is for ballet students aged 12-14.
The weeklong course includes amongst various others:

- Classical ballet and solo classes
- Repertoire* classes
- Body Conditioning 
- (Contemporary) Workshops from some of the most sought after choreographers of our time

* This year, senior course repertoire classes will feature work by Dutch National Ballet, and world renowned choreographer Hans van Manen, patron of Dutch National Ballet Academy.

After last year’s incredible success, 2025 will see a new edition of The Company Experience Week: This is an initiative led by Artistic Director of Dutch National Ballet Academy and the Junior Company Ernst Meisner to give pre-professionals aged 16-19 the chance to work with and be coached by the principal dancers of Dutch National Ballet.

The stars of Dutch National Ballet will teach daily ballet classes and coach students in pas de deux, solos and repertoire that is specific to the company. 
Furthermore, the principal dancers have all chosen repertoire that is important to them, they feel particularly excited about or work that was created for them by choreographers.
This is a unique chance to be coached in some of their favorite roles!

Throughout the week there will, apart from the shared studio time, be moments to connect during Question & Answer sessions and a chance to get to know these wonderful dancers and learn from their experience. There is a limited number of spaces available on this course!

Dutch National Ballet principals teaching on the course will be announced here.
