Nashville Ballet has announced upcoming youth and Academy auditions along with special event dates.
In addition, as announced earlier this year, renowned ballet instructors Dmitri and Jennifer Kulev will join Nashville Ballet’s leadership team in August as the new School Directors.
Under the guidance of Jennifer and Dmitri Kulev, Nashville Ballet School will significantly enhance its performance opportunities, offering more comprehensive stage experiences for both the Academy and Pre-Professional divisions.
“We are thrilled to have the Kulevs join us next month as we continue our mission to foster a rich dance culture in Nashville,” said Nick Mullikin, Nashville Ballet’s Artistic Director and CEO. “The audition season is always an exciting time for us as we see fresh new talent through our training programs, community outreach, and educational efforts.”
