All new students are required to attend a live audition for acceptance in the Pre-Professional Program. Students should be dressed in ballet attire for the audition. Advance registration for the audition is strongly suggested, as auditions tend to fill up quickly.
Pre-Professional Scholarship Program (ages 15-17)
Acceptance to the Scholarship Program is by live audition only, held every semester at The Ailey School.
Students must re-audition annually in order to maintain their Scholarship. Auditionees should be prepared to take ballet and modern classes. Please view the School dress code for appropriate audition attire. Scholarship support may be extended for as long as five years for those who enroll while still in high school.
