The audition tour for 2012 is over, but DVD auditions are still being accepted. Those who are interested in the year-round program are encouraged to attend our Summer Intensive. The School of Dance uses the Summer Intensive as a time to evaluate dancers for acceptance into our year-round training programs at the Conservatory, Trainee and Apprentice levels. Dancers who wish to be considered for these programs are advised to attend our Summer Intensive.

Details of what to include in the video are included on the application form. Also include a short classical variation or performance footage.
