Jury

The USA International Ballet Competition strives to give its participants a chance to test their skills against the highest international standards. We gather a jury, headed by Orlando Ballet Artistic Director Bruce Marks, from among the most noted dance experts around the world. We uphold the fairness of our standards by allowing only one jury member per country.
