Season 2021-2022 Auditions
Ballet Chesapeake offers a pre-professional division for dance students who hope to take their training into the professional dance world or a college dance program after high school. The company offers numerous performance opportunities as well as the chance for students to work with professional dancers and choreographers to build their experience and growth as a dancer. Past professionals have included dancers or choreographers from New York City Ballet, Washington Ballet, Central Pennsylvania Youth Ballet and Pennsylvania Ballet.
Auditions: Sunday, 5/16, 2021
Pre-registration required.
Auditions will be one hour per group of dancers and will run
from 12-4pm. Specific audition time-slot will be allotted to each dancer once we receive registration.
The audition is open to anyone with intermediate to advanced ballet experience ages 11 and up who are currently registered at either the Dance Conservatory of Maryland or another local dance school. We strongly suggest arriving early to stretch and warm up. Dancers should wear a black leotard, pink footed tights, pink ballet slippers, and hair in a neat bun. Students with at least one year of experience in pointe shoes should take the class en pointe.
We are looking forward to working with our new and returning dancers in the company next year, and hope to see everyone at the audition.
