Company Audition FAQs

---

Dancers must be between the ages of 10 and 18.

Girls should wear tights, a leotard, and ballet slippers. Hair should be in a bun or, if hair is short, pinned back off the face. The preferred leotard color for the audition is black, but any leotard color may be worn if a black leotard is not available.

Boys should wear black tights, dance pants or black basketball shorts, a tucked-in white shirt, and black ballet shoes or socks.

The number of classes required is based upon the company level your dancer is placed into. This can range anywhere from 2 to 4 technique classes per week.

There is a $25 audition registration fee per dancer. Upon acceptance into the company, there is a tiered fee required to formally accept your membership: $375 for for Novices, Trainees, Aspirants, Apprentices, and Juniors OR $500 for Seniors, Soloists, and Principals. There are no other fees required to participate in Ballet Etudes productions. The tiered fee may be paid in full or in 3 monthly installments.
