Bridge Ballet and Bridge Chorus Auditions

Auditions/placements for Hope Academy’s Bridge Ballet (in partnership with Pittsburgh Ballet Theatre) and Bridge Chorus (in partnership with Pittsburgh School for the Choral Arts) will take place on Saturday, April 2. Latecomers will not be admitted.

Bridge courses are for more committed and focused students who want to work with other young dancers and singers who share their level of discipline and enthusiasm. Punctuality, attendance, behavior and dress (proper dance clothing*) will be held to a higher standard and the expectation is that students will attend every class, be on time and prepared, and dressed appropriately. The dress code does not apply to the audition – please come in whatever dance clothing you currently have.

Bridge Ballet Audition (5 to 8 year olds)
9 am in the Gym on the basement level

Bridge Chorus Audition (7 to 9 year olds)
10 am in the 3rd floor Music Room

Please note: students who are slightly outside of the recommended age ranges may audition. Teaching artists will also invite current students who show potential and promise
