Hey, just wanted to know what type of dance do they need to do for the audition? Does it have to be ballet or can it be another form of dance?
Katelyn Pounds says
Hello Ms. Rose,
Your student does not need any prior dance training to audition for the Reach program. Please wear comfortable clothes that allow freedom of movement such as shorts, sweat pants and t-shirts.
The audition will be taught by a Charlotte Ballet Professional Teaching Artist using the Charlotte Ballet Academy’s Ballet 1 Curriculum. Please contact Katelyn Pounds at kpounds@charlotteballet.org with any further questions.
