Patel Conservatory Audition

Hello there :) Here's my experience with the audition for the Next Generation Ballet at Chicago:
The audition took place at Joffrey Tower, so the studio was very nice. We took an elevator up to the second floor, then were taken up two more floors by stairs (nice warm-up I guess, as it was FREEZING outside.) We were lead into the studio where we received our numbers. I left my bags in the hallway, though some kept theirs in the studio. There were about 20 kids auditioning, including four boys. We all seemed to be around age 12-17 or so.
The class its self was very nice. Peter Stark, the Artistic Director, did everything. It felt very personal, like a smallish master class. He gave us all very nice corrections during the class, all while judging and telling about the program.
I was accepted into the program, but with my current teachers advice I have decided to stay at home for the summer unless I get a scholarship at the Regional Dance America auditions. It seems like a very good program, and I may audition again next year :)
