Dancers must register for auditions - the link to sign up and pay the audition fee will be available later in the season. Dancers should come warmed up and stretched, dressed in correct class attire, and ready to perform the combinations they learned during the workshop. The panel of staff will ask dancers to perform in various small and large groups to best assess their performance ability, technique, cohesiveness, and stage presence.

When choosing members, we follow a consistent process and consider each and every dancer carefully. Dancers see us with score sheets during the actual auditions, but what they don't see after the auditions are the many, MANY late-night hours we spend in discussions to make sure any decision made is well informed. It will take us time to get back to each person who auditions. All of you are important to us, so we ask you to grant us some grace in our response time! We anticipate having results sent out in two to three weeks after auditions.

All Intensive Program Companies are required to attend one summer intensive plus choreography boot camp during the month of August. Some dancers will be required to attend a summer ballet intensive.
