add explanation about what boston ballet II is

User:Corachow, I think this article should have some brief, perhaps one-sentence, explanation of what Boston Ballet II is. It could use sources like https://www.bostonballet.org/Home/The-Company/Dancers/Boston-Ballet-II/Boston-Ballet-II-(BBII). What do you think? Greg Dahlen (talk) 10:03, 1 November 2021 (UTC)

I think it's better to create a section about what Boston Ballet II is on Boston Ballet, then link it here. Corachow (talk) 10:15, 1 November 2021 (UTC)

User:Corachow Yes I thought of that after I posted here. Working on it. However, I'm slowed down because I need to email Boston Ballet with some questions, but my Yahoo! email isn't working well. Might you want to create the Boston Ballet II section on Boston Ballet? Greg Dahlen (talk) 10:57, 1 November 2021 (UTC)

@Greg Dahlen: I actually think the Boston Ballet article needs a lot of work beyond just adding the Boston Ballet II section. I am too occupied by a few articles I'm working on and my off-Wiki live to do it now. American Ballet Theatre might be a good reference on how to improve the Boston one. I think there are some good sources about Boston Ballet from Pointe and Dance Magazine. The Boston Globe should be good too but it requires a subscription.

@Corachow: well the difficulty I'm having is that the Boston Ballet article, in the section https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Boston_Ballet#Boston_Ballet_Studios, mentions something called "Pre-Professional Program at Boston Ballet School". Speaking of this, it says: "The pre-professional program at the Boston Ballet is the stepping stone to the professional company. Accepting only about 80 students a year, this program is highly exclusive and competitive. Students move from all over the US and Internationally to participate in this program and to train directly under the head of the Boston Ballet School, as well as the professional company members." I can't tell, though, if this "Pre-professional Program" is the same as Boston Ballet II. The reference on the "Pre-professional program" doesn't even mention a "pre-professional program." I guess I'll email Boston Ballet when my email works and seek clarification whether Boston Ballet II is the same as this "pre-professional program," unless you have any idea?

@Greg Dahlen: As far as I'm aware the "pre-professional program" is not the same thing as Boston Ballet II. Corachow (talk) 11:46, 1 November 2021 (UTC)
