Auditions

NYTB is auditioning male and female classically trained dancers for its 32nd Anniversary Season. NYTB presents two annual series as part of its New York season and on national tour. The Signatures Series consists of classic revivals by such master choreographers as Frederick Ashton, Antony Tudor, José Limón, and Agnes de Mille. The Company also performs new choreography suitable to its distinctive role as a national chamber ballet company. The Once Upon A Ballet series features 1-hour story ballets for family audiences. Featured ballets are Cinderella, Nutcracker and Sleeping Beauty. The current contract period will run October-May. This is a non-union, salaried position.
