Winter Term Auditions for 11-18 Year olds
Winter Term auditions for this age group are held in early September. Those accepted enroll within a week. Applicants in this age group are expected to have previous experience. Students who are between the ages of 12 and 18 are strongly encouraged to audition for SAB’s five-week Summer Course, as that program can be an entry point to the Winter Term. For more information about SAB’s Summer Course, visit this link.

General Audition Information
- Proof of Age: Applicants must present proof of age upon checking-ing on the day of the audition. Only a birth certificate or passport will be acceptable as proof.
- As a general rule, recommendation letters, photographs and resumes are not accepted at auditions.
- All applicants ages 12 and older for SAB’s girls’ training track should bring pointe shoes to the audition. Please read the FAQ for additional audition dress code information.
- Audition fees are non-refundable. We regret that refunds cannot be provided to applicants who register for an audition at SAB but are later unable to attend.
- Students who attended the Summer Course during the same year should not attend this audition as they would have already been evaluated for our year round program during the summer. Students who attended prior summer programs are welcome to audition.
- Observation of auditions is not permitted.
- SAB operates an on-site residence during the Winter Term for approximately 60 students who live outside of the New York metropolitan area. Priority for housing is given to our re-enrolling students and to students who attend our five-week Summer Course in July. Housing will likely not be available for applicants by the time of the fall audition.
- International applicants interested in applying for the Winter Term should contact auditions@sab.org for more information before completing a registration form.
