Corpo
Corpo is a group of distinguished dancers who have been called together to create, perform, and contribute to the dance scene in Tacoma, WA. This group is a separate, yet connected entity of Metropolitan Ballet of Tacoma. Connected in that Corpo uses the MBT studios for rehearsals. The dancers are all adult and have previous dance education and performing experience, from recreational to professional.
If you have found yourself on this page, the rehearsal and class schedule is not to be confused with any programs, classes, or performances that are a part of Metropolitan Ballet of Tacoma school and company divisions. If you are interested in learning more about this professional dance group, please email Damaris Caughlan at mbtdirector@live.com.
Performing with Corpo is by invitation only. Dancers are paid for the season between January-June.
If you are an MBT alum or adult dancer that wishes to perform, some opportunities may be available with Metropolitan Ballet of Tacoma company division throughout the year. The best way to inquire about any performance opportunities is to show up for classes!
