Today, Nutmeg’s Residency
Program attracts trainees from a variety of training
backgrounds. The trainees who study in Nutmeg’s
two and four year Accredited Programs are looking
for solid ballet fundamentals alongside the individualized,
detailed technique and performance work that
Nutmeg offers in its accelerated programs.
While it is always desirable to train a student
in our 10 Year Dance Curriculum, and a minimum
of four years is preferred, we have achieved
outstanding results with students who have
trained with us
in the two and three year programs as well. Our
artistic focus is on the student and on developing
their natural talents; our students work on perfecting
their technique while developing an understanding
of the artistry required in the classical, neo-classical,
and contemporary repertoire, including increasing
turn out, building strength, and flexibility.
We typically have 3 to 8 graduates yearly,
and we work with each student to prepare
them for company
auditions with resources like:
- A Training Assessment and Evaluation
- Reviewing Company and/or College Options
- Targeted Training Regime
- Student Showcase DVD
- Head and Dance Photo
- Letters of Recommendations
- Student Training and Performance Resume
