ABOUT THE AUDITION

The audition will run just like a ballet class, starting at the barre with exercises from plies to grand battements. Then everyone moves to the center for a variety of combinations from adage to grand allegro.  Work your hardest and show that you are listening to and applying the teacher’s instructions and corrections. Please remove all warm-ups before the class begins

Females should wear a solid-colored leotard and either pink ballet shoes with pink tights or flesh-toned ballet shoes and tights. Students 16-18 should expect to wear pointe shoes for the entirety of the class. All girls 12–15 who have begun pointe work should bring pointe shoes to the audition.

Males, please wear black, white, or grey, shoes, tights, and a fitted shirt.
