School of Ballet Auditions
To audition, students should complete the application form and return it at least two weeks before the scheduled date of the audition selected. Applicants must include a snapshot of themselves clear enough for facial identification. Upon receipt of this application, students will be sent further information.
Each audition will consist of a 20-minute to one hour period of classroom work. Please bring leotards, tights, and ballet slippers to the audition. Girls should also bring pointe shoes. Adjudicators will evaluate and rate your performance on the basis of their observations during the audition session. You will be notified by mail in early April about the outcome of your audition.
Sixty young dancers are selected for membership in the School of Ballet, on the basis of their performances at regional auditions. Jenifer Ringer and other artistic staff members will conduct the selection process. The auditions for this year's School of Ballet will be held in the Capital District area, New York City area and the Rochester area.
