The HNBC-SI program is inclusive of the following events: an intensive training program, an international competition on the main stage of the Opera House, a European audition, and the European Ballet Forum.

Intensive training program by the HNBC-SI Faculty in the Hungarian State Opera Budapest. Mission: The summer intensive training program emphasizes optimal training by internationally renowned instructors whose goal is to properly prepare participants for peak performance on July 23rd.  The final showcase requires over two hours of rigorous dance work that begins with class and ends with formal ballet, character and contemporary dance selections to be performed by participants. This program, while intense, allows the HNBC SI dancers a rare opportunity to demonstrate their full scope of skills in a performance setting. The summer training that precedes this showcase is a six day a week training program tailored for professionally oriented dancers whose goal is to prepare for an audition before Artistic Directors; the same performance showcase will be used to compete for outstanding artist awards, scholarships and internships.

International audition for contract opportunities, internships and scholarships with European ballet and contemporary companies represented by decision makers.

International competition on the main stage of the Opera House, adjudicated by international Directors and Ballet Masters, including HNBC SI Artistic Director for the titles of: Outstanding Classical Artist, Outstanding Contemporary Artist, Outstanding Character Artist and the People's Choice Award.
