about
Dynamic Performing Opportunities
Upon a successful audition or invitation process, students will learn choreography created by RWB School artistic faculty, including award winning choreographers. These new works will be performed in festivals and competitions. Students may also have exclusive opportunities to perform with other Winnipeg arts and culture organizations.
Dance Ensembles are offered in ballet, jazz, tap, hip hop, musical theatre, as well as within the Intensive Training Program. RWB School Dance Ensemble alumni have gone onto careers on Broadway, Rainbow Stage and Alvin Ailey American Dance Theatre and have continued their education with the RWB Professional Division, Arts Umbrella, Goh Ballet, Alberta Ballet, Boston Conservatory, and the School of Contemporary Dancers.
