Auditions

An audition is required for Milaukee Ballet's Summer Intensive Program.  Audition results determine acceptance into the appropriate program and level if place into the Pre-Professional program. Audition results are emailed within ten days of each audition. The first day of the Pre-Professional program is used to verify placement. The Intermediate Intensive program consists of one level for all students.  To audition for either program ladies must have started pointe work no later than September 2012.

If you are interested in auditioning for the Nancy Einhorn Milwaukee Ballet II Program while attending the 2013 Summer Intensive Program, please bring a resume, headshot, and dance photo (any position/pose) to the audition.  Your summer intensive audition is not an audition for Milwaukee Ballet II.  Photos and resume are not needed at the audition if you are not interested in Milwuakee Ballet II.
