English National Ballet Audition

English National Ballet brings world-class ballet to as many people as possible, wherever they are and whatever their means; we break down social barriers to bring dance to different communities and people of all ages.

The Company will be performing Derek Deane’s Swan Lake at the Royal Albert Hall in June 2024.

We are seeking classically trained ballet dancers to join our corps de ballet in male and female roles in this production which brings one of the world’s favourite classical ballets to audiences in-the-round.

Rehearsal dates: Monday 13th May – Saturday 8th June

Performance dates: Monday 10th June – Sunday 23rd June

Audition date: Monday 8th January 2024 (need to be available all day)

You should have strong classical technique, and proven professional classical ballet performance experience. Successful candidates must be available to attend all the dates above in-person. The terms offered will be under the Equity Agreement for Ballet and Dance for pay, holiday and overtime if required.

We are committed to building a diverse and inclusive workforce where staff of all backgrounds can thrive and grow. We would particularly like to hear from black and global majority applicants and from applicants living with a disability or a long-term health condition, both groups which are currently underrepresented in our organisation.

All candidates need to complete the online application and we will not accept CVs or cover letters. Please contact us on hr_recruitment@ballet.org.uk if you need an alternative application format or if you need to request any reasonable adjustments to attend the recruitment process.

We reserve the right to close this vacancy earlier if we receive sufficient number of applications for the role. Therefore, if you are interested, please submit your application as early as possible.
