2026-2027 Competition Team & Scholarship Auditions

Calling all dancers! We are looking for talented, hard working dancers to join our Inspire, Ignite, Elevate, and Inspire Teams! 
​
Date: Saturday, May 30, 2026
​

If you love to dance more than anything else, have a strong work ethic, are kind and respectful, and are humble and ready to learn... plus, you â€‹pick up combinations quickly, work on your strength, flexibility and technique outside of class, are ready to take your dancing to the next level, and want to experience the professional competition world, be seen by world renowned dance companies, and take class with Master teachers... 

​

You may be eligible for a full or partial tuition scholarship with West Jersey Youth Ballet!

​
Our teams:
​
Inspire: non-competitive community performance company
Ignite: all-genre local competition team
Elevate: ballet-focused travel competition team
​
Parents... is your child showing professional potential?  
  • They have the feet, the flexibility, the strength, but they need to work on their technique?  
  • They shine on stage, but the judges' comments say, "take more ballet class"... 
  • They would love to compete, but finances don't allow for more than classes.
  • They have outgrown their current team or studio and need more of a challenge.
  • Their studio does not have a competition team, and they would like to compete. 
  • They would like a multi-genre competition experience (our Ignite team!)
  • Ballet is their focus, and what they would like to excel at (our Elevate team!)
  • They aren't sure, but want to see what it's all about, and might want to opt for our non-competitive Performance Company (Inspire Dance Company!)

If any of these scenarios sound like your dancer, come to the WJYB Competition Team and Scholarship Auditions on Saturday, May 30.  WJYB would like to make your child's dancer dreams come true!​​​

 

Auditions are required for ALL dancers (current team members & new members) interested in joining a competition team next year.
