- The Graduate College of Dance -

Entry into The Graduate College of Dance is by audition and interview only, and numbers accepted into each year of study are limited. The Graduate College of Dance conducts annual auditions, for entry into the College the following year for both the Junior and Senior Schools.

Students undertaking these auditions are given a short physical examination and a classical ballet class. Successful applicants are notified by mail in the weeks following the audition.

Overseas students undertake an initial assessment by video.

Acceptance into The Graduate College of Dance is based on the applicant's natural physical facilities, required level of technical skill, coordination and sense of rhythm (Junior School) and talent, required level of technical skill, artistry and physical suitability for classical ballet (Senior School).

A $35 fee is payable for all auditions. A fee for Auditions held outside the audition dates is $50.
