Auditions: The Asheville ballet
FALL INTO DANCE AUDITIONS
SATURDAY, JUNE 7, 2025, 2:45PM
The Asheville Ballet, Ann Dunn Director, announces Auditions for our professional production of Fall into Dance, Saturday, June 7th from 2:45-6:00pm, at our studios at 4 Weaverville Highway, Asheville.
All advanced dancers, ages 18 and up, are welcome! There will be a Ballet barre after which dancers will learn excerpts presented by our resident choreographers. Pointe dancers should bring their shoes. Dance sneakers may be helpful, if you have them.
Please fill out an audition form in advance:

There are fields in which to indicate your anticipated absences and potential work schedule conflicts throughout the summer; this information is important to the choreographers as they plan rehearsal schedules. If you want to be involved in the Fall Concert, but you have to miss the 6/7 audition, please let us know via email ASAP and fill out an audition form.
Audition fee is $10, payable via cash or check to The Asheville Ballet.
Please note that the auditions will be filmed so that material may be reviewed by the choreographers.
All performers must be taking at least two technique classes per week, at any studio, at least one of which should be Ballet.
Fall into Dance will feature work in various styles by the resident choreographers of The Asheville Ballet, and will be performed Friday & Saturday, September 12 & 13, at Pack Square Park.
Please take note of important technical rehearsal dates (eg. dress rehearsal at 4:00 on stage at Pack Square on Friday 9/12, and Sundays 8/31 and 9/7).
Rehearsals (beginning as early as 6/13, for some choreographers) for the Fall Concert will be held primarily on Saturday afternoons between 2:30-8:30pm and/or on Friday afternoons between 4:00-9:00pm, and occasional Sundays (most pieces will only rehearse an hour or two at a time; hopefully, most dancers will not have a 6 hour stretch of rehearsal). If you have any questions, or if you want to be involved but are out of town for the audition, please let us know as soon as possible!
If you are interested in participating in the Fall Concert, please fill out the audition form as soon as you can! https://forms.gle/m2kW11B6RqXmKMqJ7

The Asheville Ballet auditions dancers on a show-to-show basis and often invites selected performers to continue performing in future productions throughout the year. We offer a number of paid adult professional dancing positions as well as college apprenticeships.
Please email us or call our studio office at (828)252-4761 with any questions. We also accept emailed video/headshot/dance shot/resume submissions to dance@ashevilleballet.com.
We will review your material and contact you promptly!
In addition, students from both the Asheville Academy of Ballet and Contemporary Dance as well as other studios in the Western North Carolina region are cast both in ensemble and soloists roles in our productions. In other words, you do not have to be a student attending classes with the Asheville Academy of Ballet and Contemporary Dance to perform with us. We are delighted to include the entire community in their passion to perform, both professional and student alike. All that we ask is that students are taking at least two dance technique classes per week, somewhere, in order to maintain the high-caliber of artistry that we have become so known for.
