Pointe Magazine’s feature on Charlotte Ballet’s Pre-Professional Program!

In case you missed it, Pointe Magazine published a fantastic article spotlighting our Pre-Professional Trainee Program and how we create well-rounded and successful artists.

The story begins with a feature on Clay Houston, First Company Dancer who has been with us since his days in the Boys Dance Program, who speaks about how the Academy helped him prepare for his professional career. The story also includes insight from Kati Hanlon Mayo and Laszlo Berdo, Associate Directors of our Academy who spend much of their time working with our Trainees.

To be considered for our 2026/2027 Pre-Professional Division, as well as our 2026 Summer Intensive, register for our National Audition Tour OR submit a video audition.
