If your child has dancewear (leotard, tights, and ballet slippers) they should wear it to the audition. Otherwise, please have your child wear form-fitting clothing (tank tops, leggings, shorts etc). Hair should be secured up and away from the face.

The audition will be in the form of a beginner ballet class. Students do not need to prepare anything for the audition.
