  1. Where have the past recent graduates received employment contracts? Is there any movement into the main ENB company from the school? It doesn't appear that there is any sort of apprentice level within ENB.
  2. Another thing we have experienced is this...following the audition the director will sometimes select a FEW (3-5 max) dancers that are of interest and have these stay for an informal interview. A few times my dancer has had VERBAL contract offers made and been told to expect to receive a contract the next week. However, the email received the next week states unfortunately no more contracts are available.
  3. Yes, I have the same question. Is it critical and valued more to have the CV reflecting some sort of official "trainee" or other type of program? I'm specifically referring to the trainee programs that include a tuition payment, when one has already graduated from his/her professional school. Or could one continue to take daily class, cross train, supplement with privates and re-audition next year without the costly training program on the CV? (Like ALLWRONG is mentioning above) How much weight is put in the CV vs in person audition performance by these directors? Of course the trainee program may offer connections or opportunities one couldn't replicate by the do-it-yourself method?
  4. Thanks for the post about an open audition (Houston Ballet)! Revisiting this topic somewhat.... I have a question upon just reading and it may need a separate heading/post....and I'm a little late in reading this! Do you think one has a better chance of being seen at an open audition like this (at the Company's home studio) or attending one of the job fairs (example: Barcelona's Grand Audition, which Julie Kent - director of Houston Ballet Company is attending)???? I think the Grand Audition type of job fair requires a preliminary screen and acceptance, where the open audition example could allow anyone/everyone - just wondering about the numbers and having enough barre space, being seen, ect...for both options. Or if possible logistically and cost-wise should one try to attend both? (maybe not this Houston Ballet example - very far and $$) Anyone with any first hand experiences to share?
  5. Thanks again lifeafterballet - it is nice to hear of a positive experience and outcome for your son!
  6. Congratulations for your son! I hope he is enjoying is career! Did he have to reply to Dutch National on the spot or did he have time to consider/respond/sign an offer letter? I just wanted my dancer to be prepared on the date how to verbally respond if this happens. I guess it's very reassuring that your son received a kind reply from the AD and no bridges burned by rescinding the acceptance and that the dancers are not held to the offer. Thanks for sharing!😀
  7. Any information on the application process or links to the External audition option at POB? We can't seem to find any information about how to apply to this from their website. I believe I recall last year they posted on their instagram an announcement about an open audition, but it was late in the year, around July... I would think most company auditions would have concluded by this time with contracts signed, etc.. I wonder if they hired anyone from this audition?? I realize this one is a long shot for my dancer! Thanks!
  8. Hello - another few questions... If anyone has experience with the Grand Audition in Barcelona and the Stuttgart YAGP job fairs....can you share what time to expect these to be concluded? Trying to arrange travel / flights etc and deciding if we can depart the day the evens end or need to plan on departure the following morning. Also, any experiences to share about the quality of the events? Do the dancers feel they can be seen or is it overwhelmingly large in size of dancers? Do the company directors attend BOTH the Nashville TN USA AND the Stuttgart locations?
  9. How long do the dancers usually have to respond to a company contract offer (if one is so fortunate to receive an offer!)?? Dutch National Ballet Junior Company is hosting an audition mid-Jan 2023 and has notified the applicants that they will receive results the day of the audition. Since this is early in the audition schedule, what if the dancer wants to wait to see what other (if any) offers may occur?? How is this usually handled?? This is a new season of experiences for us! Thank you!
  10. Hi To the Pointe Parent. Congratulations to your daughter! We are in the same situation as you! I believe that QAH is only allowed to provide housing to certain schools/universities moving forward, although in the past they did allow ENBS students. My daughter would also like to live where the majority of other students are going to board. I believe there are a few that are going to book at Lightfoot Hall and Bowden Court. I'm in the process of gathering all the required paperwork materials - VISA, academic record, etc... and then hope to arrange the accommodation soon. If you would like to PM I'd be happy to discuss some of our details!
  11. Our deadline for to accept or decline a position for fall 2021 was April 20th. Good luck!
  12. Thank you! Mummy twinkle toes - was the youth hostel the Queen Alexander House? Thanks for the information regarding the potential move of studios!
  13. Hello! We are also searching for some of the same answers. If anyone has a child a ENBS (or attended in the recent past) and could share some insight it would be appreciated! Trying to make a quick deadline decision about attendance for fall 2021/2022 year.
