BBSI 2025 Male Dancer Audition
North Carolina: July 28th – August 9th
California: August 11th – August 16th
To audition for BBSI, dancers will be required to submit the following photos: a tendu à la seconde and an arabesque en l’air (both photos must be taken in the center with no barre) or choose to audition in person at one of our two audition locations. We will assess the dancer’s level and physique, and then dancers will either be sent a link to register, or will be placed on a waitlist. We may ask for a video submission from some photo applicants. As the program approaches, dancers will be selected from the waitlist based on their audition, not the order in which they were received. Photos and/or videos MUST be taken no more than 3 months prior to application.
If a dancer elects to submit photos for their audition, they are welcome to also attend one of the two in-person audition classes free of charge; please send us an email to confirm your attendance.
NOTE: Dancers must re-audition each year so we can assess their progress.
BBSI is a pre-professional ballet program designed for male dancers ages 9 to 21. Our requirements for BBSI include the following:
- North Carolina: Male dancers must be age 11 by the first day of the program
- California: Male dancers must be age 9 by the first day of the program
- Male dancers must have at least two years of ballet training
Auditions and registration are ongoing until we reach maximum capacity.
BBSI does not provide personal feedback for auditions. Not submitting the requested photographs (submitting performance photos instead, etc.) may negatively impact audition results.
Please note: spots will only be held once tuition has been paid in full. The submission of photographs does not hold a spot at BBSI.
Due to limited class size, we encourage all dancers to complete and submit the registration form and payment as soon as possible.
Please note: Tuition, registration fees, audition fees, and merchandise purchases are non-refundable.
Boys Ballet Summer Intensive is a proud Partner Intensive at the American Dance Competition | International Ballet Competition. We offer scholarships to BBSI at this competition. Financial aid is not available.
