Major Ballet companies do not usually focus on one particular technique, such as RAD. This is only one style to keep the standard and process of assessing an individuals technique. Major ballet companies prefer rounded techniques that an individual has formed over a period of time. A style that suits their particular body shape and abilities. This may be RAD orVaganova, Chechetti and Paris Oprea styles. All of which usually demand a very high standard when being assessed at a high level (vocational level).

Not sure off the top of my head, but the major ballet companies are; The Bolshoi, The Kirov, The Moscow Ballet, and The St Petersburg Ballet. Often countries such as Russia have many many little companies that may exist and are supported by the small towns they are in.
At the New York City Ballet, experienced ballet dancers earn $1,500 per week. Ballet dancers with star status can make $3,000 to $5,000 per performance working for major companies.
You can join a variety of academies at any age, but at major ballet companies, I don't think you can. It's like a 14 year old joining a major company in sales or something. Although, you can probably join the major company's academies. AND there's always a first for everything. :)
Well, if you are dancing at a Major ballet company (ie. American Ballet Theater) you can be paid at least $100,000 or much, much more a year...
