Each dancer will take part in both ballet and modern classes in front of company directors. Based on your performance, directors will determine callbacks and proceed with their own tailored evaluation processes.

If you receive a callback, you’ll:

• Learn repertoire from three different companies

• Possibly perform a solo variation

• Work directly with the directors who are hiring
  
  

And if you're not called back? You’ll still benefit from an exclusive masterclass with Mayu Odaka, Principal Dancer with Oklahoma City Ballet.
