Step 1 - Preparing your video material (YouTube or Vimeo)

The material on the audition video should be recent and not exceed 12 minutes in length. 

Video Auditions should be filmed in a proper dance studio. 

Filming should show the dancer’s entire body. There should be minimal video editing.

Remember to remove passwords from videos.

The video must include the following:

  1. Verbal self-introduction in English, 1-minute maximum. Use the same name as you will on your Audition Application Form.

  2. Contemporary solo – maximum of 3 minutes: studio footage preferred, but stage footage is accepted within the last 12 months. Preferably no fancy edits and full body shot.

  3. Improvisation – 2-3 continuous minutes: Improvisation without edits - current only, filmed within the past two months.

  4. Ballet Technique – 3 short exercises at the barre, including rond de jambe, frappe and grand battements and four short centre exercises consisting of adagio, pirouettes, petit allegro and grand allegro.

  5. Provide a table of contents identifying names of works and choreographers, improvisations, and/or repertory excerpts.

Remember to double-check all the private links and passwords of your videos. 

 If the link or password fails to work, your application can not be reviewed.

Step 3 - Audition application form

By clicking on Online Audition form you will fill the application form entering the correct information.

In section 2 in the application form, please share the link of your audition video.

Step 2 - Preparing your attachments

Make sure to have the following documents to attach to your application; without them, you won’t be able to complete your application form:

  1. A Dance Resume.

  2. A Reference letter.

  3. Headshot.

We prefer that all dancers submit their attachments online rather than print them. Our organization is committed to reducing paper waste.

IMPORTANT: After submitting your video audition, if selected to advance, one of two things may occur:

1. You may receive an invitation to a Zoom audition.

2. You will be sent an email with a link to our repertoire that you must learn, film, and return to us.

The final step is to participate in an interview with our Artistic Director. Please thoroughly review all information before submission, as corrections will not be possible once the form is submitted.
