The Royal Ballet School is thrilled to invite young dancers aged 11 to 18 to audition for full-time training, UK Scholars and Mid, Senior and Advanced Associate programmes commencing in September 2027.
Applications are welcome from all, and no student should be discouraged from applying. Admission to the School is based solely on potential in classical ballet, not personal circumstances or academic ability. Dancers are welcome to re-apply if they have auditioned before. All applicants are offered a preliminary audition.
Applications opened 3 September and close 14 October 2026 at 11:00 GMT. For more information, click here.
The School holds auditions for all age groups at Associate Centres in Birmingham, Cardiff, Eastleigh, Edinburgh, Leeds, London, Manchester, Newcastle and Stroud. To learn about the UK auditions, visit www.royalballetschool.org.uk/train/apply/uk-auditions.
The School also welcomes video applications for those who cannot attend an in-person preliminary audition in the UK. All video audition applicants must submit a link to a filmed audition video as part of their application, together with their application details.
