The preliminary audition is a classical ballet class tailored to each age group. The class lasts between 1 hour 15 minutes and 1 hour 30 minutes and includes a gentle warm-up. Applicants do not need to prepare anything in advance and should expect to take part in a classical ballet class like that which they already attend regularly. They should not feel anxious about the content of the class or worried if they encounter steps or terminology they are unfamiliar with, but they should be prepared to participate, give things a try, and enjoy the experience. No applicant will be disadvantaged for not having previously learned steps or terminology and should ask the class teacher to explain and demonstrate anything they are unsure of. The preliminary audition panel usually consists of two or three people, including one of our Intensive Courses and Auditions Artistic Managers and members of the Artistic staff. Our team is looking for dancers who show potential, artistry, musicality, and a love for what they do, who aspire to pursue classical ballet as a profession. We hold preliminary auditions in the UK for entry to: Years 8, 9, 10 and 11 at White Lodge (full-time training) 1st, 2nd, and Pre-professional Years at Upper School (full-time training) Junior, Mid, Senior and Advanced Associate programmes.Updated: Sept. 7, 2025
