DMV Adult Cohort
This season, Ballet Embody is launching the DMV Adult Cohort, a pilot initiative within the Performance Ensemble serving adult dancers throughout Maryland, Washington, DC, and Northern Virginia.
The cohort provides a dedicated rehearsal group for adult dancers while remaining part of Ballet Embody's larger Performance Ensemble. Participants rehearse locally in the DMV before joining the full cast for production rehearsals and performances.
