Summer Intensive Auditions
In-Person, Virtual, and Video Auditions
Dancers from all over the world are welcome! While in-person auditions are highly recommended, virtual auditions or a video submission are available options for those who can't attend in-person.
Respecting that dancers come from different training backgrounds and vary in age, each dancer is evaluated within the context of their individual abilities. Successful candidates demonstrate age-appropriate skills, musicality, commitment to achieving progress, and appreciation for a collaborative environment. As the John Cranko School is in session during the year, local teachers conduct the auditions.
PLEASE NOTE: JCSSI/ICM requires age appropriate immunization status in accordance with CT/NY state guidelines set for school enrollment. To request an exemption, Program must be contacted PRIOR TO REGISTRATION for instructions on its review process.
Capacity is limited for in-person and virtual options, so register early!
