Q) Why does my copy of the Company web page not show the correct information?
A) Many people save web pages to their “Favourites” list. This saves a copy of the web page as it was when it was saved. To see updated pages press the REFRESH button and then save the page again.
Q) I missed the Company Audition date can I still audition?
A) Unfortunately the audition date is final. You will have to wait until next year to audition again. However you can still attend the company classes.
Q) I am auditioning for Junior Membership, do I need to bring my pointe shoes?
A) No, pointe shoes are only required if auditioning for Senior Membership.
Q: I am on holiday when the auditions are to be held, can I audition at another time?
A: Unfortunately not. The auditions are held only once annually. We are unable to hold separate auditions.
Q: How will I know about Show Auditions etc?
A: The show auditions are being held on the 9th October this year . All members of The Company will receive information nearer the time, either by post or by email.
Q: I like to come to company class but would like my friends who aren't members to come too. Can they?
A: Company classes are open to non-members. As long as they are 10 years old or above and have passed Grade 2 ballet they can attend company class. The rate per class is £5 for members and £6 for non members.
Q: I am already a General Dancing Member but would like to audition for Senior Membership, do I have to pay an audition fee?
A: Yes. The cost of staging the audition means that we do still charge existing members.
Q: I won't have the time to take part in the Show next year but still want to keep in touch, will Company classes still be held during the rehearsal period?
A: Yes - with the exception of January and August, there are classes every first Sunday in the month.
Q: If I am successful at audition how will I know all about what is expected of me?
A: If you are successful you will be given a Dancer's and Company guide to a mutual "Code of Conduct". This can be viewed on the “Members” link at the top of the web page. There will also be a meeting on the 2nd October when you will get the chance to meet the committee members and your fellow dancers. There will be a lot of information available at this meeting.
Q. I auditioned for Junior Membership and was successful in gaining entry to the company. Do I need to audition again this year?
A. No. You only need to audition again when you wish to upgrade to Senior Membership.
Q. I cannot download an application form for Let’s Make a Ballet. How can I achieve this?
