How to apply:
Applications for the 20/21 cohort are now closed. Please email info@balletboyz.com if you would like to hear about future auditions.
Who can join?
Anyone aged between 12-18 years can apply, students that are 18 must still be in full-time education for the duration of the academic year. Some dance experience is desirable but not essential. We are looking for individuals that can show commitment, creative flair and bring a positive energy to a team.
What can I expect?
We are embracing the move into the digital world and will be working on an exciting dance film during the first term, which will be created through Zoom! Zoom sessions will also contain company class to improve technique and group/individual tasks to create new work.
BBz Youth Company members should be ready to commit to the whole year. Sessions are held every Friday 6pm to 8pm. If you are offered a place in the Youth Company, please bear in mind that sessions will begin on Zoom and transfer into the studio when it is safe to do so.
