BalletMet 2
Founded by Edwaard Liang in 2014, BalletMet 2 is a Dance Academy performing company of 6-8 dancers and is under the direction of Associate Director Ambre Emory-Maier.
The BalletMet 2 performance program is designed as a workforce development tool that brings dance to the larger community which includes schools, civic organizations, festivals and projects such as performing with Opera Columbus. Dancers are mentored by the artistic staff and coached in rehearsals and specialized classes.
Selected by audition and paid a modest scholarship stipend, BalletMet 2 members train daily and rehearse and perform season repertoire with BalletMet – the resident, professional company – to develop the expertise required for professional careers.
