THUNDER BAY – Canada’s National Ballet School (NBS) is excited to announce that the 2012/2013 National Audition Tour, which includes both Auditions and Open Classes, will be in Thunder Bay, Ontario on Monday, November 12th at the International Dance Academy.
Auditions for the School’s full-time Professional Ballet Program (students in grades 6 – 12) and Post-Secondary Program (high-school graduates) take the form of a specially designed ballet class where dancers are assessed for quality of movement, coordination and overall suitability for the demands of classical ballet. The minimum age to audition is 10, and no prior ballet training is required for students aged 12 and under.
Open Classes are designed for junior and senior dance students regardless of their intent to audition for the full-time program and are offered as an outreach component of the National Audition Tour.
