Common Questions

FAQs

Dancers may compete from the year they turn 9 until the year they turn 19. There are four categories based on year of birth: Pre-Junior, Junior, Mid, and Senior. Dancers who have held a professional contract are not eligible to compete.

No. Ballet Grand Prix welcomes dancers from all parts of the world. There are semi-final venues in both London and Scotland for your convenience.

Pre-Junior dancers perform a non-repertoire classical solo (original choreography rather than a classical variation) and a contemporary solo in the Final. There is no approved repertoire list requirement for this category.

Only dancers are permitted backstage and in changing rooms. Dancers in the Pre-Junior and Junior categories may request access to the green room for one parent or helper to assist with costume changes. All other attendees may only access the main foyer and auditorium with a valid audience ticket.

No — the Grand Défilé is a celebration, not a competition. All finalists who attend the scheduled rehearsals will perform together on stage at the Awards Ceremony.
