Auditions for 2023 CAT at NSCD will take place on Saturday 20th and Saturday 27th May 2023.
During the audition, candidates will take part in an icebreaker followed by a Contemporary technique class and a Creative session. In preperation for these you will be asked to learn two short phrases in advance of the audition, one short technical exercise, and one short choreography phrase.
These videos will be on the website from April, we will also email all young people signed up to the audition when they are available.
Following the creative session, candidates will take part in small group interviews with 4-5 others. This is to enable us to get to know you better and to answerany questions you may have.
We understand auditioning can be a daunting process and we want young people to have the opportunity to share the passion and potential in dance in a safe, supportive and conducive environment. Free Audition Preparation Classes will be available in the lead up to the auditions for those who wish to receive support towards auditioning on Wednesdays 3rd, 11th, 17th, 24th May in person at NSCD and online on zoom for those who are unable to travel to Leeds midweek.
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.
NSCD auditions all applicants and our audition process is designed to assess your potential as a dance artist and your suitability for our courses. We welcome all applicants regardless of disability, ethnicity, gender, sexuality or religion.
