CBII is Cincinnati Ballet's emerging professionals program, giving extraordinarily talented young dancers a professional company experience. Dancers in the CBII program are selected from auditions around the country. These talented young dancers receive unparalleled professional experience, performing corps de ballet roles in Cincinnati Ballet full-length productions.

Additionally, CBII Dancers enhance Cincinnati Ballet's education and outreach efforts by visiting schools and community centers to perform, demonstrate dance technique and act as ambassadors for Cincinnati Ballet.

By rehearsing and performing with the company and continuing dance education with Cincinnati Ballet Otto M. Budig Academy, CBII Dancers gain professional experience, make important contacts in the dance world and develop a deeper understanding of life as part of a dance company.
