N.Y.T.B.C. (Not Your Typical Ballet Company)
N.Y.T.B.C. is where strong technique meets creativity—without sacrificing balance and joy. Our dancers build on classical ballet foundations while exploring a variety of dance styles, creating fresh, exciting choreography and truly memorable performance experiences. This program is designed for dancers with at least one year of training who are ready to grow in an environment that values both progress and well-being.
At the heart of everything we do is connection: between dancers, teachers, and families. We believe dance should fit into life—not take it over—and we support our dancers in maintaining healthy routines, friendships, and family time outside the studio. While we celebrate accomplishments and artistic growth, our greatest focus is on confidence, teamwork, and the joy of moving together.
Yes, our company has earned numerous high score, choreography, judges’, and technique awards—but our proudest achievement is the encouraging, balanced, and truly uplifting community we’ve built. Our dancers love what they do, and that love shines brightly on stage—and at home.
Joining the Team
Dancers can audition for N.Y.T.B.C. during our July auditions. Company members compete in Contemporary, Jazz, Tap, Lyrical, and Ballet dances, participating in four competitions and one dance workshop each year. Dancers also have the option to perform solos, duets, or trios once they have completed one full season on the team.
Training & Classes
Company dancers train in two to three dance styles and take 2 ballet classes a week along with separate technique classes designed to build strength, flexibility, turns, leaps, and overall performance quality. This structure allows dancers to grow their skills while also perfecting their competition routines. All company members also perform in our annual Production number—a fun, high-energy musical theater piece that brings the whole team together!
