Dancers will only be considered for duo/trio opportunities if they submit a separate paper application (that must be picked up at the front desk) with all appropriate signatures. Solos are by invitation only. Solo/duo/trios will be determined after a separate call back audition on Saturday, April 30th.

Audition times/levels will be determined by age or current ballet class level. If your dancer is not currently enrolled in ballet, ages 6 – 9 will join the Pre and Novice Ballet A group and ages 10+ will join the Novice Ballet B group. Dancers ages 3 to 5 should come barefoot or in ballet shoes, in dance clothes or shorts and a fitted shirt with hair up/out of the face. Female dancers ages 6 and up should wear a solid black leotard, solid black shorts (if desired), tan tights, and either ballet or jazz shoes with hair worn in a professional high bun. Male dancers ages 6 and up should wear a solid black shirt, solid black shorts and either ballet or jazz shoes with black socks with hair groomed and out of the face.

AUDITION
Auditions will be closed and parents are not required to stay. Dancers ages 6+ should be prepared to perform in the following styles: jazz, contemporary/lyrical, tap (for Intermediate Ballet B and above only) and improvisation. These students may be asked to demonstrate splits, pirouettes, and grand jetes (leaps). All steps will be demonstrated in detail during the audition. Participants are not required to know all of the steps prior to the audition. The auditions will include a warmup, across the floor work, and age-appropriate combinations in the center.

Participants will be notified by mail during the week following auditions regarding the results and class placement for the upcoming school year. Any questions or comments regarding level of placement – in person, via text/email or on social media – will result in immediate dismissal from the team. All dancers are carefully placed in dances and classes where they will grow both socially and as dancers. Dancers selected to audition at solo/duo/trio call backs will be notified by mail as well. St. Augustine Dance Academy reserves the right to audition new students as deemed necessary prior to the beginning of the 2022-2023 company season.
