CAT – How To Apply

We accept applications from young people in the East of England, aged between 10-16 years (on 1 September 2024), from all backgrounds.

If you are enthusiastic about dance, are highly motivated and eager to develop new skills, and believe that you have exceptional talent and potential within dance we want to hear from you!

 

If you would like to join the DanceEast CAT you will need to attend an audition. The auditions are designed to be accessible and fun for everyone. There are Audition Support Workshops available to help guide you through the process and answer any questions you may have.

We encourage everyone who is interested in joining the CAT to apply to audition; you do not need to have previous dance experience; we look for potential.
