Northern School of Contemporary Dance – AUDITIONS

AUDITION DATES 

  • Saturday 10th May 2025 – Key Stage 3
  • Saturday 5th July 2025 – Key Stage 4

11 – 4pm

Age 13 – 16 years

Our audition process consists of a single audition, designed to assess your potential and suitability for the course.  We welcome and audition all applicants regardless of disability, ethnicity, gender, sexuality or religion.

On the day, auditionees take part in a contemporary technique & group creative work in the morning, followed by group interviews in the afternoon.  

All participants need to learn two short exercises in advance of their audition. An introduction to the content of the video and instructions for each exercise will be made available. 

These exercises will be taught during Audition Preparation Classes for those who want more support. 

Auditionees do not need to prepare an individual solo for audition.

Previous dance experience is not necessary as we are looking for young people with enthusiasm, potential and a commitment to training as a contemporary dancer.

AUDITION PREPARATION CLASSES 

We understand that auditioning can be a daunting process. Therefore, each year we hold free Audition Preparation Classes for those who feel they need more support ahead of the important day. We want young people to have an equal opportunity to share their passion and potential in a safe and supportive environment. We recommend all auditionees attend these classes to stand the best chance of success.

Booking is essential to guarantee your place and can be made when completing an audition/application form. In 2025 our Audition Preparation Classes will be on the following dates:

  • Wednesday 30 April, 6:15pm – 7.45pm
  • Wednesday 25 June, 6:15pm – 7.45pm
