Each Spring, Alberta Dance Theatre holds open call placement auditions inviting dancers from around Calgary to join the company. ADT welcomes dancers of all experience levels and uses the auditions as a way to place the dancers in the appropriate performance group based off of age and dance experience. The Audition Workshop is a free event that will consist of a group warmup, contemporary dance technique, improvisation and creation exercises. Dancers will be able to meet other company members, some of the season's professional choreographers, and chat with the Co-Artistic Directors. After the Audition Workshop, dancers will be contacted by the Co-Artistic Directors to see if now is a good time to join the company. Rehearsals begin the second week of September and run until the end of November/early December. Visit the website to learn more about the process, tuition, and family volunteer hours.

Youth in Grades 1-12 are invited to join us for a free workshop to meet fellow company members and learn about the Alberta Dance Theatre process. We'll be dancing, creating movement, and participating in theatre activities during the Audition Workshop. The audition portion of the day will be to place youth company members in the most appropriate rehearsal group and to see if now is a good time for the dancer to join Alberta Dance Theatre. Joining us for the Audition Workshop does not commit you to our fall season. We see this as a great way to meet each other. We'll send company welcome notices by the end of June. Our Audition Workshop activities will be split into groups by age. All dance experience and abilities are welcome! We encourage all families to read through our "Audition" webpage to learn more about the process and family commitment: https://www.albertadancetheatre.com/join-adt Scholarships are available and available on our website. All applications are due September 1, 2021. We will have a second Audition Workshop on June 27, 2021. Video Auditions are also accepted.
