The EBI Studio Company (entrance by audition/invitation only), participates annually in the largest scholarship competition in the world, the Youth America Grand Prix and the Connecticut Classic Scholarship Competitions, where students bring classical variations, contemporary solo works and ensembles to the stage in hopes of receiving a summer training scholarship to one of the prestigious programs offered in the US.
EBI tuition scholarships are awarded to gifted and dedicated students annually by way of the EBI Scholarship Fund. The EBI program is open to children ages 4 and up and offers rolling admissions. Male student and Family discounts are available. The maximum enrollment at Eastern Ballet Institute is 50 students, hence making the program beneficial for those seeking more individualized training with a progressive focus. These smaller class sizes increase the speed of technical and artistic progression, aide in classroom communication and raise the level of self confidence in its students.
