Admission to San Francisco Ballet School is by audition only. Every January and February, the School holds a National Audition Tour. Auditions are open to male and female students, ages 13-18, who have achieved intermediate or advanced levels of ballet training. Intermediate/Advanced students seeking admittance to the year-round program are encouraged to audition for and attend the summer session.
Please arrive at least 30 minutes prior to the audition time for registration. There is no pre-registration. The audition is similar to a typical ballet class. Girls should be prepared to dance on pointe. Girls 15 and older will be required to be on pointe for the entire audition.
What to bring:
Applicants will be notified of audition results via e-mail within one week of their audition. Students who are accepted will receive instructions for securing their place in the program.
