Audition procedures
You can only follow our dance programme after a successful audition. During your audition, we will not only assess your technique, coordination and musical aptitude, but also examine your physical suitability and your potential career in (neo)classical and contemporary or modern dance.
Procedure A: You wish to enter through live audition
You can register for one of the pre-auditions we organise every spring. You are welcome to showcase your talent to a jury of dance experts at the Royal Ballet School in Antwerp. After your audition, you will be notified as soon as possible whether you may proceed to the final audition, which usually takes place in May.
After the final audition, we will let you know if you are welcome to enrol in the following school year at the Royal Ballet School. We will also explain why you passed or failed your audition.
It is important to know that you do not require any ballet technique or ballet experience to take part in the auditions for the first grade. You will be judged on your physical abilities, talent and potential alone.
Procedure B: You wish to enter through video audition
You can also enrol at the Royal Ballet School Antwerp through video audition. To do this, you must submit a video, which the artistic director will be the first to assess. If you receive a positive evaluation, you will participate in a lesson of your future school year as a final audition. If this final audition is also evaluated positively, you may enrol in the next school year at the Royal Ballet School.
When the video file is sent (best via online watching, youtube or vimeo), please transfer the amount of 25 euros to the account below. the video will only be judged when the entry fee has been transferred.
