Dear Future Dance Artist,
At Berlin Dance Institute, we believe that every dancer has a story to tell and a unique voice to share through movement. Whether you dream of soaring across the stage, exploring the depth of contemporary expression, or pushing your own boundaries, we want to see your passion and creativity come alive.
If you are unable to attend one of our scheduled auditions, don’t worry—you can still share your talent with us by submitting a video audition. You can send your audition on a DVD or share a link through YouTube or Vimeo.
Here’s what we’d love to see in your video:
- Ballet: Plié, Tendus, Jetés, Rond de Jambe, Adagio, and Grand Battement. You don’t need to show both sides. Please also include a turn across the floor and a jumping combination.
- Contemporary: A 3-minute combination, ideally choreographed by you, including contemporary floor work (rolls, etc.). You’re also welcome to share any classroom combinations that highlight your style and artistry.
How to submit your audition:
By DVD:
Berlin DANCE Institute
Egelingzeile 6
12103 Berlin
Or via email (YouTube/Vimeo link):

Deadlines and visa information:
The deadline for video auditions for the school year starting October 1st, 2026 is April 30th, 2026. If you live outside the European Union, we encourage you to submit your audition as soon as possible, as obtaining a student visa for Germany can take some time. Please apply for your visa in your country of residence.
Please include with your submission:
- Your CV (full name, address, date and place of birth, education, and dance experience)
- A motivation letter sharing why you want to pursue a professional career as a dance artist and what inspires you
Upon acceptance:
A refundable fee is required to reserve your place. This fee is securely held and returned to you upon completion of the programme (full details provided).
We are truly excited to see your individuality, creativity, and dedication. If you have any questions about the programme or the application process, please don’t hesitate to reach out—we love supporting aspiring dancers as they take the next step toward their professional journey.
With warmth, encouragement, and anticipation,
Berlin Dance Institute
