JCSSI Auditions are a great opportunity to meet Program staff and experience BBASI methodology. Dancers should treat the audition as a class and demonstrate their individual best. Respecting that dancers come from different training backgrounds and vary in age, each dancer is evaluated within the context of their individual abilities. Successful BBASI candidates demonstrate age-appropriate skills, musicality, commitment to achieving progress, and appreciation for a collaborative environment.
