Important Information:

We seek your understanding that, due to high demand and limited spaces, only the top 70% of dancers, based on audition scores, will be selected. Selected dancers will then be assessed and placed into either Class A or Class B accordingly for Ballet and Contemporary,

Please note that Soloists selected for the TAC are not required to register or pay for the Troupe Audition later on. You will be automatically included in the Troupe selection. However, you must still attend the Audition day so we can assess Troupe standards and consider you for additional items such as Solo, Duo, Trio, and Ensemble in other dance styles like Lyrical, Acrobatic and National. Results for the TAC ballet and contemporary audition will be released by 21st July 2026. If you are not selected for the TAC, you may then register for The Apprentice Team Troupe Audition.
