VIDEO AUDITIONS Students may submit video auditions if they are not able to attend the in-person auditions listed above. How to audition by video: Film your video according to the Video Submission Guidelines below. Upload your video to a site such as YouTube, Vimeo, DropBox, or Google Drive. Register your audition online at the link above and pay audition fee. Be sure to include your online video link with your registration. Video Submission Deadlines: Los Angeles Summer Programs: May 15, 2024 New York City Summer Programs: June 1, 2024 Year-Round Program: September 5, 2024 ***You MUST register online to submit a video audition. Unregistered candidates will not be considered for Ellison Ballet programs. ***DO NOT SEND VIDEOS VIA EMAIL. Video links must be submitted within the online registration form. Audition Requirements Applicants should have a strong basic classical foundation in relation to their level and age. Please see the following for program age requirements/eligibility. Premier Coaching: Ages 12-24 Ellison Ballet Summer Intensive: Ages 10-21 Classical Variations Intensive: Ages 13-21 Pas de Deux Intensive: Ages 16-24 Students who are 9 years old may audition for the EBSI if they will turn 10 by June 2024. Dancers should audition with the age group that they fall into on the date of their audition. (Ex: If a student is 14 years old in January during the audition, but will turn 15 in April before the program begins, the student should audition with the 10-14 age group.) Students may choose to audition for as many Ellison Ballet programs as they would like during the Audition Tour, including all summer programs and the year-round program.** **Those wishing to be invited into the year-round program are strongly encouraged to audition for and attend one of our summer programs first. The summer intensive programs are considered “Phase Two” in the audition process for acceptance into the year-round program. This allows Mr. Ellison and the faculty to see how the student works over an extended period of time, and allows the student to get first-hand experience of Ellison Ballet, its faculty, and programs, thereby allowing both to determine whether the student and school are a good fit. Auditions specifically for the year-round program are held during the four-week Ellison Ballet Summer Intensive each year for interested students. Audition Process Register online for your audition by clicking the red CLICK TO REGISTER buttons on this page. There are two ways to audition; both are given equal consideration. Please note we are not holding Zoom auditions during the 2024 Audition Tour. Any student who cannot attend an in-person audition is encouraged to submit a video audition.
