Auditions
Acceptance to the youth dance company is by audition, and we hold yearly auditions for new dancers to join both our Junior and Senior Companies.
For the audition, you will have a contemporary and jazz dance class with a short routine to learn. You do not need to prepare anything.
We want you to be relaxed and to enjoy yourself. The dance audition will be followed by a short one-to-one interview with someone on the Artistry Youth Dance team.
