Junior and Senior Performance Ensembles

TBCDE is excited to launch our brand-new Junior and Senior Performance Ensembles, starting in January 2022!

Performing is an essential and integral part of a dancer’s training; it highlights their technical and artistic growth and showcases their passion for dance. TBCDE created these Performance Ensembles to provide the opportunity for our students to gain stage experience and to develop their performance skills. The ensembles will allow our young dancers to build positive relationships and friendships through teamwork and a shared love of dance!

We are pleased to announce that Patrick Ingram will be the primary choreographer for both the Junior and Senior Performance Ensembles, with support from our CDE Faculty. Mr. Ingram has years of experience in Classical Ballet, Jazz, Contemporary and Modern dance, and will bring his wealth of experience to this program. Mr. Ingram has an infectious and inspiring way of working with young people, and his students love working with him!

Adult Performance Ensemble

This fun program, taught by Julie Marquet, allows adults ages 18 and older to learn different styles of choreography created especially for them. Classes are designed for all levels, from the beginning dancer to the more experienced dancer. At the end of the session, dancers will perform their choreography on stage for family and friends in one of Tulsa Ballet’s in-house theaters. The session will end with an informal reception to celebrate. This is an exciting way for adults to meet new people, challenge themselves in a fun environment and is a wonderful way for those who might want to get back to the stage! No audition required.
