The dancers will also compete, as they have in the past, for medals, scholarships, and cash awards.
A new contemporary showcase allows dancers eliminated in early rounds to perform again for additional exposure during the competition. Other events include a performance at the opening ceremonies by Ballet Hispanico, and a master class given by Garth Fagan Dance.
The competition, which is held every four years, takes place June 17-July 2. The 2006 event will be the competition's eighth.
The production will include Bernstein’s incidental music for Lillian Hellman’s adaptation of The Lark, and Menotti’s The Unicorn, The Gorgon, and The Manticore.
