2026 Auditions

Audition Outline

The auditions are conducted in a positive and supportive learning environment. All students will be provided with video tutorials to learn the audition combination/s. The audition provides the students with the opportunity to learn a short combination via video tutorial, perform the combination for a panel and complete technique sequences taught by a Dance staff member on the audition day. The audition panel includes a variety of permanent dance staff and eisteddfod dance staff members.
