All other students must audition for Ballet Level II by submitting an audition video. Students age 8 or older by 9/1/2020 who are not experienced in ballet or do not wish to audition may enroll in Ballet Level I or Boys Ballet Level I/II.

Videos do not need to be professional quality. Please contact us if you require assistance putting together the required exercises.

The video should consist of a tendu exercise at the barre, an adage at the barre, and a tendu/adage exercise in the centre. All exercises should be 32 counts.
