Your way into
ArtéBallét.
Admission to ArtéBallét is based on your current level and training background. New Advanced / Pre-Professional dancers apply through a digital audition, while Intermediate vocational, recreational and adult dancers who meet the intermediate level requirements may register directly to the intermediate program.
For our Advanced / Pre-Professional Programs, we select dancers with strong technical foundations, musicality, individuality and potential, artists ready to work at close range within ArtéBallét’s international training environment in Europe.

Your route depends on where you are in your training. Find the pathway that applies to you below.
Your ArtéBallét
Application
Apply online with a headshot, a first arabesque photo, a dance photo of your choice and one short ballet clip. Footage you already have from class, rehearsal or a performance is welcome, there’s no need to prepare a full audition video, only if desired. Choose material that gives our artistic team a clear picture of your current ballet technique.
Dancers who have participated in a previous ArtéBallét Intensive may request admission to an upcoming Advanced / Pre-Professional Program directly. Email us and we will review your request based on your previous participation and the level of the program.
Intermediate Program
No audition required.
Intermediate dancers who meet the published training and level requirements may register directly. No audition or video submission is required.
Places are offered directly through registration and remain subject to level suitability and availability.
Professionals & Graduates
Direct CV Admission
Professional dancers and graduates of recognised professional dance or ballet training programs may apply directly for Advanced / Pre-Professional admission by submitting a current CV.
Your professional or graduate background serves as the basis for review. Additional material may be requested where necessary.
Show us where
you are now.
The same requirements apply to our Winter and Summer Intensives. Photos and footage you already have are welcome; simple phone recordings are perfectly suitable.
Two photographs.
Please submit the two images below. Clear, recent photos are all we need, professional photography is not required.
First Arabesque
A clear full-body ballet photograph in first arabesque.
Dance Photograph
One dance photograph or pose of your choice.
For female-identifying dancers, both dance photographs must be taken en pointe.
Your ballet technique, in a few clips.
Share one or two short clips that clearly show the strength and level of your ballet technique.
- Length
- Around two to five minutes in total is a useful guide, but shorter or longer submissions are welcome. Choose the footage that best represents your current technical ability.
- What we need to see
- Please include your extensions and enough movement to assess your placement, control and coordination. Female-identifying dancers must also demonstrate pointe work.
- Recording
- No professional filming or editing is needed. Your full body should be visible, and you should be easily identifiable. Recordings from the past two years are welcome if they accurately reflect your current level.
