One of the world’s most prestigious dance events, the USA International Ballet Competition (USA IBC) is a two-week “Olympic-style” competition where tomorrow’s ballet stars vie for medals, cash awards, company contracts and scholarships.
Designated as the official USA ballet competition by a Joint Resolution of Congress, the USA IBC is held every four years in the tradition of sister competitions in Varna, Bulgaria; Moscow, Russia; and Helsinki, Finland. Audiences and participants from more than 20 nations enjoy a festival of events that includes lectures, exhibits and an International Dance School.
The next USA IBC will take place in 2023.
