We believe inthe unique potentialof all students
Elementary School Admissions
Most students who enroll in The NYC Public School for Dance first participate in Ballet Tech Across New York (BTANY) and the Introduction to Ballet Program. However, students may also audition directly for the school by signing up for one of our “open auditions.” All applicants must be residents of New York City.
Open Auditions
Ballet Tech holds open auditions for incoming 4th graders (i.e. students currently enrolled in the 3rd grade.) The audition consists of a 45-minute ballet class, and no prior experience is required to register. Click “Learn More” below to register.
Ballet Tech Across New York (BTANY)
Teaching artists from Ballet Tech travel to public elementary schools across NYC to introduce 2nd and 3rd graders to the basic tenets of ballet. Students who demonstrate a strong aptitude and enthusiasm for dance in these classes are invited to participate in the Introduction to Ballet Program.
Introduction To Ballet Program
Students who excel in the BTANY classes are invited to attend a 6-week ongoing field trip to Ballet Tech for introductory ballet classes. Students who continue to demonstrate a strong aptitude and enthusiasm for dance throughout this program have an opportunity to audition for Ballet Tech’s full-time school.
