Best US schools for producing professional dancers

[Viviangrace]

Hello,

Is there any information/knowledge on which US ballet schools that have the highest rate of professional contracts granted to their graduates every year?

I don't think there are any statistics on that, Viviangrace. Things change every year, and any good school could have several graduates who receive contracts one year and none or very few the next. Also, with all of the trainee programs now, many dancers are away from their home school 2 or 3 years after graduating from high school.

 

Also, there are many great schools, and we do not do comparisons or name any as better than others. We provide as much information as we can on all of them, but finding the 'best' for your dancer has to be a personal decision.
