The start of the New Year marks the beginning of the summer intensive audition season in the world of ballet. Aspiring professional dancers prepare rigorously for their auditions. For many, it is a chance to kick their ballet up a notch; it is also an opportunity to experience a summer away from home in their dream company.
While our own Southland Ballet Academy prepares to receive summer audition submissions, a number of our own students have successfully performed at their auditions and have even received scholarships.
To the following students, congratulations on their scholarships and acceptances to summer intensives at prestigious ballet schools!
