Ask Colin – auditions

Dear Colin,
I am 13 years old and LOVE to dance, especially classical ballet. I would like to audition for The Australian Ballet School soon. Can you tell me what they are looking for when they select dancers for the school?
Hannah

Hi Hannah,
Like all full-time dance schools, the Australian Ballet School chooses gifted students who combine a passion for dance with a physique that can withstand the demands of vocational training. This is especially important for The Australian Ballet School because it is dedicated to producing technically strong classical ballet dancers with an emphasis on artistry and purity of line.

You can discover more about the School, including audition details, on their website.

Wishing you a successful future in dance,
Colin

You can email your ballet questions to Colin at hello@behindballet.com
