ATTENTION:
Manual adjustment of a student's body to correct alignment and technique is standard practice. If this is not acceptable, please do not audition.

Regarding conflicting auditions: If you find that another school is holding auditions in the same time slot that The Rock School is holding an audition for your age level, The Rock School will allow you to audition in any other time slot possible for you to attend on that day. We always note a student’s age on the master audition sheet, enabling us to fairly assess and evaluate talent and technical level.

If you would prefer to be notified by mail as to whether or not you have been accepted to The Rock School Summer Intensive, please inform the teachers as you register. Otherwise, you will receive a flyer at the end of the audition/master class informing you of your status.
