Faculty
HYB Leveling
Leveling for HYB students is determined through auditions and placement classes. HBT Directors factor in age, skill and physical and emotional development of each student. Dancers of any age without any formal dance training are still able to enroll and perform in HYB productions as we tailor choreography to each group of dancers. The differences in leveling is reflected in HYB casting. Dancers placed in higher levels will be cast in larger, more difficult roles that require more rehearsal hours.

Generally ages 5-6 with 0-1 years of ballet training. HYB mini students typically have one smaller roll in each HBT production.
