Jan McNulty Posted December 17, 2016 Share Posted December 17, 2016 It's that time of year again and I thought I would start a new thread where people can post details about companies that are advertising auditions.

Lisa O`Brien Posted December 17, 2016 Share Posted December 17, 2016 Do Northern not specify minimum and maximum heights for their dancers? Come to think of it, do the other British ballet companies ask for certain heights, or do they all just take graduates from the top schools regardless of what height a dancer is? 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If it's not in the advert then no they don't specify. NB has the most diverse height range of men and women that I can think of. BRB is also pretty diverse. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

PrancingMum Posted February 11, 2017 Share Posted February 11, 2017 (edited) Not sure where best to post this but perhaps this is as good a thread as any. Just back from dinner with friends where I met a lovely girl who is auditioning this year for a company place (classical ballet) and was saying that she wished to go to Germany but was considered too short. So for all those who have DD that are worried about getting too tall .... Good luck to all! Edited February 11, 2017 by Newdancermum 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Goldenlily17 Posted December 8, 2017 Share Posted December 8, 2017 Yes, it is audition time of year again, and as I read about all the European companies advertising I ask myself what is going to happen after March 2019, when British dancers will lose freedom of movement and the right to work in Europe. How are they going to find contracts? and why aren’t people asking questions? I have seen nothing in the dance press and it is the most pressing topic in the dance world today.

aileen Posted December 9, 2017 Share Posted December 9, 2017 Yes, it will depend on the (new) visa rules. On another thread someone provide approximate figures for EU and non-EU dancers in the UK companies currently. From recollection, I think that there were more non-EU dancers than EU dancers with ENB having the most EU dancers. In theory, it might be easier for British dancers to get contracts in the UK if freedom of movement from the EU is curtailed. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
