The Regional Summer Intensive Auditions (RSIA) are a collaborative audition opportunity, bringing together a variety of dance schools and programs at one time for dancers (Ages 10–25) to audition for summer intensive programs as well as trainee positions. The auditions will be January 16–18, 2026 at COCA – Center of Creative Arts in St. Louis. New for RSIA 2026, auditions will take place on stage in COCA’s Catherine B. Berges Theatre!
COCA will host auditions onsite for students led by accomplished teaching artists and accompanists. All participating schools and programs will receive recorded videos of the auditions, student audition forms, photos, and resumes electronically at the conclusion of the weekend. Schools and programs will adjudicate and contact students in alignment with their own audition practice.
All applicants must participate in the ballet, pointe (if applicable), and modern portions of the audition.
