This spring, Ensemble students will study and perform a classical suite selected and directed by School of Nimbus Co-Director and former American Ballet Theatre Principal Dancer, Sarah Lane. The repertoire will be set and coached by world-renowned School of Nimbus teaching artists and presented in the School of Nimbus Spring Concerts, June 12–14 at the Summit Campus. Select advanced students may also be invited to perform in the Jersey City Spring Concerts, as well as additional festivals and community events.

Additionally, Ensemble dancers will have an original modern work created specifically for them by School of Nimbus Co-Director, Marie Zvosec. This piece will be performed at Nimbus’ On The Rise event and other select performances, which also feature master classes in ballet and modern taught by internationally recognized artists. Ensemble members may also have opportunities to perform alongside Nimbus Dance company members throughout the school year.

Ensemble participation is open exclusively to students in Levels III – V-A. Students must register for their level’s mandatory Ensemble class schedule and are required to attend all Ensemble classes and rehearsals.
