TBC’s annual Placement Exams offer students, parents and faculty a way to track all areas of progress within a graded curriculum.
Here at TBC, we utilize American Ballet Theatre’s National Training Curriculum, and level placement is based on the guidelines within.
While dancers’ placement and progress are tracked and evaluated throughout the season, the exam process offers many benefits:
Students are adjudicated on whether they demonstrate a clear understanding of theory, concepts, etiquette, artistic development and technical proficiency for their current level placement.
During exam week, Auditions will be held for:
Sgt Pepper's Nutcracker & The Performing Company
Dancers in Primary C & up are eligible to audition for The Nutcracker. Dancers ages 10 & Up are eligible to audition for The Performing Company.
This year, your registration will automatically rollover to next season!
Please contact us prior to May 31 if you need to make any changes to your enrollment. Otherwise, no action is needed.
Your Annual Registration Fee will be charged via autopay on June 1 (unless paid prior).
New placement and corresponding tuition will begin in July.
This year, your registration will automatically include the required uniform items needed for your dancer's new level placement.
Dancers will be measured in classes by our costume team. Any additional items desired (extra leotards, shorts, warm-ups, etc.) may be ordered via your parent portal.
Your Required Uniform Fee will be charged via autopay on June 1 (unless paid prior). Uniform requirements & fees vary according to your dancer's level, and will be communicated with your level placement.
Dancers will be required to wear their class uniform to their exams and auditions. Females should wear their class leotard with matching skirt, hair in a properly placed high classical ballet bun, with performance tights & ballet shoes in clean condition. Males should wear their class uniform, with neat hair. Hair bows for female dancers will be borrowed from TBC for the day. If your dancer is missing any of these items, please check in with the front desk ASAP.
Each student is permitted to invite 2 family members / friends to observe (exam portion only / no audience for auditions). Parents, we strongly encourage you to attend! It is wonderful to get an insight into your dancer’s classroom training process, and see another aspect of what their dance studies entail.
TBC students are welcome and encouraged to observe all exams - they do not need an invitation, and they do not count as one of your 2 invitees. This is a great way to show up & support your fellow classmates, as well as gain an understanding of what is expected in each level of our curriculum.
Please join us for refreshments & light snacks following the exam with the opportunity to take photos with your dancer & get to know our faculty. You will be able to confirm your registration, tuition and schedule for next season, and complete your uniform orders, ensuring we receive them before our new season starts.
All dancers are required to participate in auditions as part of the exam process.
Auditions are held during exam week for the Fall 2026 session: Nutcracker 2026 (additional roles) + The Performing Company. Please Note: If your dancer is not interested in either of these additional training options or is unsure of their schedule for the Fall, they should still participate in the audition process and outline their specific interests/schedule concerns on their audition form.
Regardless of your individual goals in the audition or the outcome of, the audition process is an integral part of performing arts training and a valuable tool for every student.
