Community Cast Opportunities
Ballet Arkansas auditions more than 300 community dancers each year for roles within the organization's seasonal productions. It is our goal to provide each child with an enjoyable experience while in the audition, in rehearsal, and in performance. The audition and casting process is a complex one that must take many variables into consideration. Here you'll find helpful audition information and will learn about the process of bringing each Ballet Arkansas community cast production to life.
