Testimonials
“With hundreds of applications and video links arriving each year — the Guidelines make the process easier for both me and my ballet masters. With a standard application format, this makes the selection more fair and avoids as many
un-necessary travels for the auditioning dancers as possible.”
Madeleine Onne
Artistic Director, Finnish National Ballet
“Ballett Zürich supports this valuable initiative that aims at facilitating the audition process. The IAP guidelines make it easier to screen the numerous applications. This is also for the benefit of the applicants.”
Christian Spück
Artistic Director, Ballett Zürich
“Being able to click on the one link and see immediately the classical variation, followed by contemporary and then classwork, has really helped to facilitate the audition process. I would encourage others to endorse this format.”
Aaron S. Watkin
Artistic Director, Semperoper Ballet
“Ballet schools work diligently with students to help them achieve their goals of becoming professional dancers. For many, the expense of creating a portfolio limits their ability to successfully audition more broadly. This audition protocol will be a great way to help students keep costs in check as they pursue their dream of becoming professional dancers.” Patrick Armand
Director, San Francisco Ballet School
