Dancers applying to the Professional Training Program will take part in an audition that consists of a 90-minute class; selected candidates will then continue in improvisation and repertory sessions, followed by an individual interview. The class will consist of floor work, centre standing work, and movement across the floor (including jumps). Auditionees should wear dance clothes with clean lines and have bare feet. The interviews, which can be conducted in English or French, will take place after the classes. Since it can be a long process, all dancers are asked to make the entire day available.
