DaNcErKeL86 Posted November 18, 2004 Report Share Posted November 18, 2004 Does anyone know of any ballet competitions other than YAGP that help you get noticed and maybe even find a job? I know theres IBC, but that doesn't come back to the U.S. till 2006 I think?! Let me know! Link to comment
Guest DerfDude04 Posted November 18, 2004 Report Share Posted November 18, 2004 The New York International Ballet Competition takes place during 2005! (Click the link for more information!) And the USA International Ballet Competition does not come back until 2006. Link to comment
Guest DerfDude04 Posted November 18, 2004 Report Share Posted November 18, 2004 One quick question...do you only want to know about competitions within the US? Link to comment
dbleon Posted November 18, 2004 Report Share Posted November 18, 2004 Are dancer's required to be recommended by teachers for these competitions??...How does one know if they are competition "material"? Link to comment
Guest DerfDude04 Posted November 18, 2004 Report Share Posted November 18, 2004 You should definately talk to your teacher to see if you are ready to enter a competition. Also, your teacher would need to coach you on a variation...etc. Link to comment
DaNcErKeL86 Posted November 18, 2004 Author Report Share Posted November 18, 2004 Thanks derfdude! And yes I am only thinking competitions within the U.S. for now. Link to comment
Guest DerfDude04 Posted November 18, 2004 Report Share Posted November 18, 2004 No problem. Some competition was in June in Miami last year, but I forget what it was called. Does anyone know? Link to comment
Administrators Victoria Leigh Posted November 19, 2004 Administrators Report Share Posted November 19, 2004 That was a new one, and is somewhat similar to YAGP. It did seem to take place at a bad time, though, as it was in conflict with most SI programs I think. I can't remember the name of it either, but there are posts about it somewhere....

DaNcErKeL86 Posted November 19, 2004 Author Report Share Posted November 19, 2004 (edited) I know that one! One of my teachers from NCSA, Mr.Han, was the competition director I think. I'm gonna search it up. I'll let ya know what I find. Edited November 19, 2004 by DaNcErKeL86 Link to comment

Guest DerfDude04 Posted November 19, 2004 Report Share Posted November 19, 2004 Yes!! That's exactly what I was talking about! Thank you danseurmor! Link to comment
DaNcErKeL86 Posted November 20, 2004 Author Report Share Posted November 20, 2004 I went to the AMC website to check it out and now I have a question about the selected reperoire. FEMALE SENIOR (Ages 13-15) & PRE-PROFESSIONAL DIVISIONS (Ages 16-19) COPPELIA (Swanhilda's Variation -Act III) DIANA AND ACTEON (Female Variation 'Pas de Deux) ESMERALDA (Female Variation - Pas de Deux) GISELLE (Giselle's Variation- Act I) LA FILLE MAL GARDEE (Female Variation 'Pas de Deux) ODALISQUE (Le Corsaire - #3 variation ) SLEEPING BEAUTY (Aurora’s Variation - Act III) When is says the variation and then pas de deux right after it (ex. Esmeralda), does that mean you have to do the pas or can you just do the variation? Link to comment
Administrators Victoria Leigh Posted November 20, 2004 Administrators Report Share Posted November 20, 2004 I think it means the variation from the grand Pas de Deux. Not sure, but YAGP lists things that way too, so I guess that is what it means. Link to comment
