Scholarship Auditions 2025
For our 2026 Summer Residential
We are proud to be able to offer a large number of Scholarships for students to attend our Summer Residential with all or part of the fees covered.
The audition will consist of a 1 hour and 15 minute ballet class in your correct age group (no pointe work for any students) led by an experienced teacher in front of a panel led by the Director.
We will be holding 5 days of auditions across the country. Places for these auditions will be strictly limited and offered on a first booked basis. There is a fee of £15 per student to attend and students can only book to attend one audition date.
BOOKINGS OPEN Monday 15th September
