Costa Rican Ballerina Carolina Morice Joins The Washington Ballet Trainee Program
At just 17 years old, Costa Rican dancer Carolina Morice has achieved a major milestone in her artistic career: earning a spot in the prestigious Trainee Program at The Washington Ballet.
This coveted program serves as a bridge for elite young dancers preparing to transition into professional ballet companies in the United States and worldwide.
A Lifelong Dedication to DanceCarolina's journey began at the age of three when she first stepped into the studio at DBS Ballet School in Costa Rica. By age 11, she realized that ballet was more than a passion-it was her intended career path.
Her international training journey took off early:
-
Finland: Participated in an intensive training program that opened doors to international stages.
United States: At age 13, she made the bold decision to move alone to California to study at the Idyllwild Arts Academy, where she spent four years expanding her repertoire to include jazz, contemporary dance, and hip-hop.
Securing a place at The Washington Ballet required months of rigorous preparation, including detailed audition video recordings demonstrating barre work, center exercises, and complex classical variations both on and off pointe.
For Carolina, the invitation was a dream realized. Out of all her options, The Washington Ballet was her top choice.
Rehearsals officially began on September 14, with Carolina already preparing for upcoming company productions of The Nutcracker and Sleeping Beauty.

As she takes her next steps in Washington, D.C., Carolina Morice represents a rising generation of Costa Rican talent breaking into the international performing arts scene.
