Ballet Auditions Come to Santa Monica

Santa Monica-area ballet students are invited to audition for the School of American Ballet’s 2011 Summer Course on Monday, January 17, from 2:30 p.m. to 7:00 p.m. The auditions will be held at Westside School of Ballet, 1711 Stewart Street, Santa Monica (310-828-2018).

Audition times are as follows:

2:30 p.m. – 4:00 p.m. for 12-13 year olds
4:00 p.m. – 5:30 p.m. for 14-15 year olds
5:30 p.m. – 7:00 p.m. for 16-18 year olds

Students should arrive one hour in advance of their audition time to register. Optional preregistration for the audition is also currently available on SAB’s web site at www.sab.org/summercourse. The application fee is $35. Auditions are for intermediate and advanced ballet students, 12 to 18 years old as of July 31, 2011. All students should bring a copy of their birth certificates to the audition. Girls must bring pointe shoes to the audition.

During the next two months, more than 2,000 aspiring ballet dancers in 21 cities will vie for approximately 200 coveted spots in SAB’s five-week summer program. Fernando Bujones, Suzanne Farrell, Darci Kistler, Sara Mearns, Ethan Stiefel and Wendy Whelan are just a few of the notable dancers who attended SAB’s Summer Course as part of their formative training.

The School of American Ballet, founded 77 years ago by legendary choreographer George Balanchine and Lincoln Kirstein, is the premier ballet academy in the United States and trains more students who become professional ballet dancers than any other American school. SAB’s former students fill the ranks of the New York City Ballet and other leading U.S. and international ballet companies. Students invited to SAB’s Summer Course will attend classes in New York City from June 27 to July 30. The 2011 National Audition Tour is sponsored by Freed of London.
