About Our Auditions
- Our auditions are designed to feel like a class, not a test. We’re interested in your potential, attitude, and work ethic just as much as your current level. You don’t need to be perfect — we want to see how you move, learn, and respond in the room.
Followed with an interview.
- Please prepare a 1-2 minute solo (Showcasing your best style whatever that may be! Show us you & your personality)
Entry Requirements:
-
4 GSCE's - Grade 4 and above. Including Maths and English.
-
If grade requirements have not been met- our course offers a resit in Maths and English.
-
A successful audition and interview with the head faculty at WD Academy.
Whether your future is on stage, on screen, or in another creative path, we want our dancers to leave with skills, confidence, and resilience that last.
