Live Auditions / Prospective students, age 7 and above, are required to attend an audition in order to be considered for enrollment. Currently enrolled SOBT students do not need to audition. Please review our audition schedule (www.obt.org/auditions.html) for details, dates, and audition locations (Japan, New York, Chicago, Miami, Los Angeles, San Francisco, and Portland). A live audition is preferable to a video audition for admittance into the program. All auditionees must provide a small, simple headshot. Those women with pointe experience and men over the age of 14 years must also provide a brief résumé and a first arabesque photograph. Applicants must pay a $20 audition fee (cash only, please).

Video Auditions / Auditions by video will be accepted through March 31, 2010. Videos will only be accepted from students living more than 150 miles outside the Portland Metro area. Submissions should be no longer than 10 minutes and must include barre and center. Intermediate students must show pointe work at the end of center with relevés in first position and échappés in second position, en facé. Advanced students should show the entire audition en pointe. Please include the noted photographs and résumé as per the live audition instructions, and include the audition fee in the amount of US $20.

Pre-Ballet through Level 2 students must remit the entire balance with their registration materials. Level 3 - 6 students must either remit the entire balance or the first of three payments* with their registration materials. Summer Intensive tuition will not be prorated for missed days. These payments hold your space and are non-refundable. Classes will be closed once enrollment limits are reached.

*We offer a payment plan for Level 3 - 6 that divides the tuition into 3 equal payments. If you wish to use our payment plan, you will be charged a $75 finance charge. Details will be provided with your offer of admission.

Limited housing is available to out-of-town students and is offered on a first-come, first-serve basis. Local, year-round SOBT families host visiting students for the summer. The hosts are approved by SOBT and arrangements for housing are facilitated by the School Administrator. Students from out-of-town will automatically receive a housing form with their offer of admission. A fee of $1,500 is paid directly to the host family for room, board, and transportation.

SOBT has a strict no-observation policy. However, we end our 2010 Summer Term with Parent Observation. From July 26, 2010 through July 31, 2010, each level will be assigned a specific day and time for Parent Observation of one technique class. Class schedules and times may change during this week, and some classes may be combined, to accommodate observation.
