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.

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 our 2024 Summer Course should not attend this audition as they would have already been evaluated for our year round program during the summer. Students who attended the 2023 Summer Course are welcome to audition.
- Students who trained at SAB during the 2023-24 school year but were not invited to enroll for 2024-25 must wait a full year before reapplying to SAB. They are eligible to re-audition in 2025.
- 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 2024-25 Winter Term should contact auditions@sab.org for more information before completing a registration form.
