Ballet Auditions!

---

Basic Information

1.  Review the rehearsal schedule!  Dancers must be able to commit to the entire rehearsal time.  Make sure to list all conflicts (including possible ones) on your audition form.  Performers who miss undeclared rehearsals may be required to set up private lessons ($30 per 30 minutes) to learn choreography or work on spacing and timing with the other members of their dances, or in extreme cases be removed from the production.

*** Please work other activities around rehearsals.  Absences will only be allowed for illness (must watch rehearsal via Zoom to keep up with choreography and take technique notes) or a REQUIRED school event.  If the school event gets scheduled after you audition, please talk to your school regarding alternate options available to you so you can fulfill your commitment to both school and the production.

2. Fill out the contract and audition form at https://forms.gle/wnz5tVXkcKyE7mdM9​​.  By signing the contract, you agree to all of the terms listed in the contract.

3.  An exact audition schedule will be released about 1 week prior to auditions, based on the number of dancers trying out at each level.
​
4.  Turn your completed contract and $100 casting fee in to the studio as soon as possible.  Fees will be returned to any dancer who does not receive a role, otherwise, fees are non-refundable. 

Please note: if your dancer breaks the contract before roles are announced and cannot be cast, your fees are non-refundable.

5.  An exact rehearsal schedule will be posted on the rehearsal page within one week of the cast being announced.
