The company officially opened its own summer workshops[30] in April 1997, this time at the permanent facility, where the first enrollees[30] were thirty six students.

From the time that the school opened, it has held several auditions[31] wherein the company offers full and half scholarships to those who would successfully pass the screening.

The private compound[7] currently has three rehearsal studios, a music library which houses a collection of books and videos which sole purpose is to ensure that the dancers and students are given continuous education.

Aside from the school, Ballet Manila is also equipped with a fully staffed office which provides marketing, logistical and administrative requirements for the company.

The kids are chosen through an audition,[34] where the successful ones are given daily ballet class training in an accelerated dance program.

In early September of the same year, Macuja-Elizalde announced[37] that she will dance her last full-length Swan Lake in a series of shows scheduled in October 2011.
