This unique audition event gives dancers the opportunity to take part in a series of masterclasses with directors from around the world and access a final audition offering international opportunities all in one place, without the need to travel to multiple destinations. This expansion opens a new door for our agency and for aspiring dancers in Australia and neighboring countries, who often need to travel long distances to be seen. The event offers multiple work and study opportunities for dancers aged 14 and above who are interested in developing their professional careers abroad. The event is structured over three days. The first two days feature multiple masterclasses with various directors, followed by a final audition day in front of the full jury, consisting of a ballet class and solo demonstrations.
