Altenburg Gera Theatre Ballet / Thuringian State Ballet Audition

About: Altenburg Gera Theatre Ballet / Thuringian State Ballet Audition

I participated in this public audition. There were about 160 dancers, so the organizers divided us into four groups for the first round (classical class). Fortunately, I was in the first group, so I did the class at 10 a.m. After that, they selected dancers for the second round (own variations). The schedule was as follows: first round (classical class) — 1st group, 2nd group; second round (variations) — selected dancers from the 1st and 2nd groups; then again, first round (classical class) — 3rd group, 4th group; second round (variations) — selected dancers from the 3rd and 4th groups; and finally, the third round (repertoire) — all selected dancers. The audition was held on the main stage. It isn’t very big, so we were a bit squeezed during the class. There were also a few dancers from the company volunteering at the audition. They showed us to the waiting room and the stage, and if we had any questions, we could simply ask them. They were very kind and helpful. It was a very long audition, but the organization was not bad at all.
