General Information: New students interested in enrolling in Pre-Ballet IIB and Ballet level I and up must participate in an audition to determine acceptance. .Parents who are interested in enrolling their child in Ballet Studio E's Student Program should carefully review information on studio classes, ballet program, dress code, policies and tuition. Parents must call the Academy to reserve an audition spot for their child, leaving a message with their cihild's name, birthdate, and age they will be as of September 1st 2011. At the time of audition parents must bring a $20 audition fee to their child’s audition. Please be aware that auditioning does not guarantee enrollment. Not all students who audition can or will be accepted. However all parents should arrive prepared to register their child should they be accepted. Registration payment on that day will be accepted in cash or check form only. Audition Information: All children auditioning will be assessed for suitability for classical ballet training; however, previous dance training is not required or expected. Students are assessed for physical attributes beneficial to the study of classical ballet such as the musculature of the foot, and flexibility of the ankle and hip sockets. The purpose of the audition is to determine if the child has the physical capacity and attitude to study ballet happily and safely. If the child possesses good physical characteristics and has a desire to dance and willingness to learn, they most likely will be accepted. However, a child with exceptional physical characteristics and a poor attitude may not be accepted. Parents should be prepared to wait, and as space will be limited, we ask that only one parent accompany the auditioning child, and no other family members.
Attire: Students are expected to arrive dressed for their audition, as changing rooms may not be available. Students are to wear a plain leotard (no skirt) or swim-suit. No tights, no socks or other foot coverings for the audition.
