Want to CONNECT with Hubbard Street in Summer 2022? Read on for everything you need to know about the audition process:

• Dancers are accepted into the Hubbard Street Summer Intensive Programs by audition only. Results will be sent by email within two weeks of a dancer’s scheduled audition date.
  
  
• Pre-registration for auditions is required for all scheduled auditions, and will close 48 hours before the scheduled audition date. 

• Dancers must be fully vaccinated against COVID-19, including any boosters for which they are eligible, and wear a mask to attend our live auditions. Proof of vaccination will be required during check-in, on the day of the audition.
  
  
• Auditions will consist of a ballet class and based on the discretion of the artistic panel, dancers may learn Hubbard Street repertory or be asked to improvise.

• A leotard, tights, and ballet shoes must be worn for ballet class. Hair should be pulled back, and out of your face. Hubbard Street does not perform works on pointe therefore; pointe work is not a part of our Summer curriculum and should not be worn at our audition. Form fitting apparel can be worn for repertory as long as body lines are clearly visible.

• A dancer must meet our minimum age requirements by June 1, 2022, meaning a dancer must be at least 18 years of age by June 1, 2022 to attend our 18 – 24-year-old audition, and a dancer must be 13 years old by June 1, 2022 to attend our 13 – 17-year-old audition. Dancers auditioning at our 13 – 17-year-old audition will be invited to the program that is best suited for their current skill level.

• On the day of the audition, dancers are required to bring the following items:
  • 1) Resume (1 page max): Resumes should list the dancer's performance and training experience to date, primary dance instructors, and current place of training.
    
    
  • 2) 8x10 Headshot: Headshots need to resemble how the dancer appears in the studio. It does not have to be a professional photo, nor a specific color. A black & white photo is acceptable.
    
    
  • 3) Vaccination Card: A vaccination card showing full vaccination against COVID-19, including with any boosters for which you are eligible, must be shown at the time of check-in to attend our live auditions. A photo of your vaccination card will also be permitted. While a vaccination card is not required to attend our virtual auditions, please note that dancers are required to be fully vaccinated against COVID-19, including with any boosters for which you are eligible, to participate in our 2022 Summer Intensive Programs.
    
    
  • 4) Signed Waiver: Dancers must print, sign, and bring page 3 of our waiver to the audition. All dancers under the age of 18 must have a legal guardian signature included on the waiver. Click the button below to download the waiver.
