Production
Auditions

Auditions for FMBallet productions are open to ages 6 through adults and all levels of dance.

​

FMBallet produces three major productions each season, and we hold open auditions for two to three of those productions. Dancers of all experience levels are invited to participate—must be at least 6 years of age, and adults are warmly welcomed as well.

​

At FMBallet, we believe deeply in a mentorship-based performance model, where young dancers share the stage and train alongside our company members. Many of our current company dancers began their journey in roles such as a mouse in The Nutcracker, and it is incredibly rewarding to watch their growth and development from production to production.

​

There is no cost to audition or participate. Instead, we invite families and individuals to support the production experience by assisting behind the scenes, front of house, with costumes, ticket sales, donations, and promotions. Financial responsibilities are minimal and typically include basic items such as under leotards, tights and shoes (depending on the production, in some cases you will be asked to creatively put together a costume with guidance) and other standard dance wear that most dancers already own.

​
