Students ages 7-18 must audition in order to be considered for enrollment. Please review our audition schedule to find details and an audition location near you. A live audition is preferable to a video audition for admittance into the program. At the time of the audition, dancers must provide a resume and photo. No audition fee is required.

Auditions
Auditions by video will be accepted through May 1, 2009. Videos will only be accepted from students living more than 150 miles outside the Portland Metro area who are not able to attend a live audition.

Video Auditions
Submissions should be no longer than 10 minutes and must include barre and center. Intermediate students: Show pointe work at the end of center with relevés in first position and échappés in second position, en facé. Advanced students: Show entire video en pointe.

Limited housing is available for out of town students. Housing is offered on a first-come, first-served basis. Local, year-round SOBT families volunteer to host visiting students for the summer. The hosts are approved by the School and arrangements for housing are facilitated by the School Administrator. Students from out of town will automatically receive a housing form upon being offered admission into the program. The student is responsible for a housing fee of $1,000, paid directly to the host family for room, board and transportation.
