• Dancers registered by August 8 will receive access to audition prep videos sent to the email address provided on August 11.
• Unable to attend the audition in-person? Once you have received the audition prep videos, record your dancer executing the combinations for their age group and email them to [email protected] PRIOR to audition day to be considered for a role.

Audition Expectations:

• Please arrive at least 15 minutes prior to the start of your age group’s audition slot. These slots reflect the age of the dancer at the time of the audition.
• Please plan to stay for a parent information session during your child’s audition time. NPB hopes to effectively communicate and discuss topics in person prior to the busy rehearsal season and can answer questions directly. Parent information sessions will be held in the conference room down the hall from the studios.
