Audition information: mte.eu/en/admission/

Applicants living in Europe or in the Middle East have to audition before the Audition Board. The audition consists of observing body aptness, dance talent, awareness of music and sense of rhythm. The audition contains a shortened classical ballet class, a short class of diverse modern and contemporary elements, some improvisation tasks, and the presentation of a solo number (max. duration of 2 min.), which has been choreographed and rehearsed previously by any teacher, choreographer or the candidate her/himself. (Please bring your own music for it.)

Overseas candidates should send first – for pre-auditioning – a video link presenting their dance abilities, awareness of music and sense of rhythm as well as presenting their knowledge of ballet and any (or more) modern and/or contemporary techniques or methods (such as Graham, Limón, Cunningham, Horton, any kind of jazz, improvisation and /or contact dance). A solo number (max. duration of 2 min.), which has been choreographed and rehearsed previously by any teacher, choreographer or candidate should also be recorded. Please note that we do not accept students by video, but you have to come to a live audition (exceptions may be granted by the Audition Board). Pre-auditioning by video means to ask for an opinion if it is recommended for you to participate in a live audition or if your skills have to develop much to meet the criteria set for your age. With the video, you have to send a complete audition package including the audition fee. In case of not recommending participation at a live audition, the fee is non-refundable. This possibility is offered to overseas candidates only!
