Through ABT II, the American Ballet Theatre brings the stars of the future to the stage. The New York Times has hailed ABT II's "rare purity and youthful charm" in its classical dancing." "The company in its first decade has produced some of the senior troupe’s best dancers." ABT II is a small classical company of thirteen young dancers of outstanding potential. In its thirteenth season, ABT II prepares these dancers to enter American Ballet Theatre and provides opportunities for the emergence of new and established choreographers and composers. The dancers (ages 16-19) are handpicked from around the world by the artistic staff of American Ballet Theatre. ABT II dancers will train in the program for one or two years before joining American Ballet Theatre's main Company or other leading national and international professional companies
