Associate Programme Auditions

Equality, Diversity and Widening Participation
Central School of Ballet is committed to addressing issues of under-representation in ballet and higher education. To achieve this, we identify and target prospective, talented students from groups that are currently under-represented, particularly including students:
- from low income backgrounds
- from postcodes where participation in higher education is low
- from under-represented ethnic backgrounds
- students classified as having a disability
In answering the questions below, and throughout this form, you will enable us to work towards ensuring talented dance students can access ballet and higher education. For further information about Widening Participation at Central School of Ballet please follow this here
