Mystic Ballet’s commitment to gifted young dancers is the same during both the summer and the company season: to provide comprehensive ballet and dance training, high-quality instruction, and a safe, living environment. Mystic is a leading New England tourist mecca, and most desirable destination between New York and Boston. Located on the coast of Long Island Sound in a traditional seaport setting, Mystic offers a combined opportunity to enjoy many of its recreational activities and special attractions.

Summer FAD program serves as an extended audition for dancers seeking admission to Mystic Ballet’s company and FAD Network Program for the Season. During the summer, dancers can take advantage of the opportunity to work with Mystic Ballet’s artistic staff and guest artists and choreographers. Dancers will work with company’s resident choreographer on creating premiers for the upcoming season, and they will be performing company repertory on the final day of the program.

You will be part of the one of most progresive dance companies in the US, being up to date with the dance world. Work with dancers – artists from around the world setting new ideas and standards, with the combination of a European artistic background, American enthusiasm and a very progressive coaching philosophy and personal atmosphere

Limited work study and merit grants are available to qualified dancers.
