A limited number of scholarships will be available. For auditions, students are asked to bring a headshot (4x6) with a ballet hairstyle, and for students age 12 and over, a First Arabesque photo (4x6), with ladies on pointe, along with the completed registration form and a $30.00 day-of registration fee, payable in cash.
HuffPost described Alexei Kremnev’s choreography as “everything, encompassing the best and brilliance of what movement can be while breaking boundaries of what we know,” and referred to him as “a revolutionary.”
