Soon to be holding auditions for its 2008 summer program and 2008-2009 school year program, the Kirov Academy of Ballet's audition tour will visit cities throughout the U. S. Students unable to attend a scheduled audition site may also audition by submitting a video or photographs, or by scheduling a private audition at their facilities in Washington, D. C.KAB's 17-year old ballet boarding school program is one of the first in the U. S. to integrate the classic Baganova curriculum with academics and a rich resident life experience. Many of KAB's graduates have gone on to professional careers with companies such as San Francisco Ballet, American Ballet Theatre, The Joffrey, Royal Swedish Ballet, Boston Ballet, Tulsa Ballet, Colorado Ballet, and many others. Artistic Director Oleg Vinogradov, former artistic director of The Kirov Ballet, has assembled a team of ballet instructors who have danced and taught in the world's leading companies and schools. Summer students receive the same professional-level training as our year-round students; all of the summer ballet classes are taught by our acclaimed year-round instructors.
Cities included in the audition include Denver. Audition site is at the Colorado Ballet Academy at 1278 Lincoln Street from 11:30 a.m.-12:30 p.m. for 10-13 age group and 12:45 p.m.-2:00 p.m. for the 14-18 age group. Registration begins 30 minutes prior to each audition.
