Professional Division Auditions
The RWB School is renowned for its exceptional training, providing dancers with the opportunity to grow and excel under the guidance of world-class instructors in a supportive and nurturing environment. We invite students to audition for our prestigious Ballet Academic Program or Anna McCowan-Johnson Aspirant Program and unlock their potential.
How to Audition
- In-Person Auditions: Join us this fall in select cities across Canada for in-person auditions to demonstrate your potential and work with our artistic faculty.
- Virtual Auditions: Can’t attend in person? Virtual auditions will be available for a limited number of students. Reserve your spot and audition from anywhere.
- Video Submissions: Submit your video audition at any time before June 1, 2025. This flexible option ensures you can audition on your own schedule. Check out our tutorial video with tips on successful video auditions.
Pre-Register For Best Chances
We only accept 25 students per virtual audition, so pre-registering early ensures you can secure a spot. Submitting your video audition early gives you an advantage and the best chance at getting noticed.
Why Choose the RWB School?
- Comprehensive training: Our students receive a well-rounded education that balances world-class dance training with academic excellence.

Our state-of-the-art Student Living Centre, complete with dedicated student care counselors, ensures that students are supported both personally and professionally.
- We focus on potential: At the RWB School, we look for dancers with the dedication, drive, and passion to succeed, not just technical precision.

This immersive experience offers a rare opportunity to witness and participate in Company-level productions, giving you a glimpse into the world of professional ballet as part of your education.
Summer Training
Our four-week Summer Session is a pivotal step in the audition process. It offers dancers the opportunity to experience our world-class training firsthand and assess whether the RWB School is the right fit for them. At the same time, it allows our team to evaluate each dancer for acceptance into the full-time programs.
