Audition Registration Information

NEW! Electronic pre-registration is available this year! 

To help ensure appropriate social distancing during registration, we strongly encourage you to use the electronic pre-registration option. Please follow the steps below to help us keep the process as streamlined and safe as possible!

  1. Click here to download the Audition Registration PDF Form. (You will need to download and save the form, not just open it in a web browser.) Complete and save it, then email the completed form to ballettheatreofcarmel@gmail.com with the subject line Audition Registration_Your Last Name. Forms must be received by Friday, August 21, 11:59pm. If you are unable to pre-register electronically, hard copies of the Audition Form will be available at the studio.
  2. Arrive at the BTCA studio at the registration time designated for your dance level. All dancers should be dressed with hair done, as dressing rooms are off-limits.
  3. From the parking lot, text your LAST NAME to 317-514-7041. You will receive a reply when we are ready for you at the lobby registration table where you will be given your Audition Number and directed to the appropriate studio.

OR

If there is a tent in the parking lot (we hope to have this option available in addition to the lobby registration table), a dancer and 1 parent may line up on the marked X’s to complete the registration process, without having to text from the parking lot.

**Reminder – as per the Marion County Mask Mandate, all individuals over the age of 2 will be required to wear a mask during the registration and audition process.

General Information
  • Please see our list of required classes to determine your audition level. Students must be enrolled in BTCA classes to audition.
  • Per Marion County mask mandates, masks are required for all over the age of two. During the active portion of the auditions, masks may be removed as per guidelines when appropriate social distancing is possible.
  • Dancers should dress in their regular BTCA class attire for the auditions. If a dancer is from another studio, dress comfortably with hair pulled back from the face and secured in the back. Please see our dress code page for more information.
