Competitive Auditions 25/26

Looking to take your dance training to the next level for the 25/26 season? Come out and audition for our competitive program!

Dancers wishing to train at Dance Co Arbutus or Dance Co Fraser at the Demi-Competitive, Competitive, Intensive, Company or Professional Half-Day levels for the 2025/2026 dance year must audition for placement.

Please click here for more detailed information about Dance Co's competitive training levels.

A $35 application/audition fee will be charged when submitting your application form. This fee will cover the cost of your audition(s), or a video audition should you need one.

Current Dance Co students in any of our Demi-competitive, Competitive, Intensive & Company programs are NOT required to audition as we will base your 25/26 placement off of your teacher recommendations from the 24/25 season.

We look forward to dancing with you next season!
