  • Our auditions last three hours and there is no recall stage. Everyone attending has the opportunity to take part in all sections of the audition.

    You will take part in a jazz style warm — this usually includes some cardio, stretching and body conditioning. You’ll then take part in some technical exercises and travelling sequences across the room.

    Once the warm up is complete you’ll learn some commercial choreography, followed by contemporary choreography.

    We’ll then give you a creative task — this is an opportunity to create a short routine with some of the other dancers auditioning.

    You do not need to prepare in advance for any part of the audition. Everything will be taught to you on the day.

  • Applications are open to dancers aged 13 - 19. Although we only audition up to the age of 19, once accepted you can stay with us until you’re 21.

    We ask that all applicants have a minimum of one year’s experience in any dance style.

  • Our panelists are looking for natural dance ability paired with warmth, maturity and a willingness to learn.

    We’re experienced working with dancers from a diverse range of dance backgrounds. Please don’t worry if you haven’t had a lot of technical training — if you feel you could be a good fit for the company, then we’d love to meet you.

    If you’re unsure about whether you should apply, or have any other questions feel free to send us a DM or email and we’ll be happy to talk it through.

  • We’ll be in touch with you within three days of attending with the outcome of your audition.

    If you’re successful in gaining a place with us rehearsals will start for you on Saturday 28th September.
