SAB To Hold Auditions in Tokyo

SAB's first-ever auditions in Japan will be held in Tokyo on October 11-12, 2009, coinciding with New York City Ballet's performances at Tokyo's Bunkamura Orchard Hall (October 8-12).

The auditions will be for intermediate and advanced ballet students between the ages of 12 and 18 who are interested in attending SAB's 2010 Summer Course. The Summer Course is a five-week program in which 200 serious ballet students from around the world live in the School's on-site residence at Lincoln Center and take ballet, pointe, variations and partnering classes with SAB's world-renowned faculty. Most advanced students enrolled in the School's year-round program first attended one or more Summer Course sessions before being invited for full-time training in the Winter Term.  The 2010 Summer Course will take place from June 28 to July 30.

The Tokyo auditions will be conducted by New York City Ballet dancers and artistic staff who are also current faculty members at SAB.

Students interested in auditioning must pre-register for the audition by sending an e-mail with their name, birthdate and mailing address to sab@kyodotokyo.com.
