c_phillips Posted February 7, 2013 Share Posted February 7, 2013 My son is auditioning for central. I’m so nerves he doesn’t seem to worry about itmuch, but I know this is all he really wants and I really want him to succeed. I’llget to my questions. So what is central looking for? Do they want more danceydancers? What’s the audition is like is it different from other vocationalballet schools? How important is contemporary for getting into the school/howmuch of the audition is contemporary? Sorry for asking a lot of questions. and good luck to every one auditioning thank you Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Tulip Posted February 7, 2013 Share Posted February 7, 2013 A vague memory of a ballet class, a short contempory class and then there were other things to test musicality. It was skipping over a rope and clapping out a rhythm against the music. Someone else may be able to explain this more clearly to you. This was last years audition and my memory is not so sharp.

Dragonlady Posted February 8, 2013 Share Posted February 8, 2013 Welcome to the forum. My DD auditioned in January and said that the ballet class was good but not too advanced at this stage. I have posted her experience in a different earlier thread but do not know how to link it to this one. If you use the search engine here for Central you will find it. Good luck!

Jan McNulty Posted February 8, 2013 Share Posted February 8, 2013 The earlier Central School of Ballet auditions thread: http://www.balletcoforum.com/index.php?/topic/2505-central-senior-school-auditions/?hl=+central%20+school%20+ballet Dragonlady's description of the audition is at post #9. To give a link find the page you want to link in, copy the URL and paste it into your new post. I haven't worked out how to tidy them up yet!

KathyG Posted February 8, 2013 Share Posted February 8, 2013 All my DS can remember of the Central audition is that he fell over doing one of the exercises, he certainly made an impression. The other was that it was a mixed class. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
