The National Agency for Education handles all applications.

Audition

To be admitted to the secondary dance education in years 4-9, an approved audition in dance is required before a jury and an approved health examination. All applicants must do the audition tests in dance. It takes place as dance lessons, led by educators in front of a jury. The jury assesses the applicants according to the National Agency for Education’s assessment criteria for audtion tests in dance:

› Dance technique
› Artistry
› Musicality / Sense of rhythm
› Focus on tasks
› Physical conditions
› Overall assessment

Health examination

All applicants who pass the final audition test undergo a health examination. The purpose is to ensure that the applicant can complete the training without obvious risk of injury. The health examination contains both an orthopedic and a general medical assessment.

 

The Admission Process

The Dancers Education Council is responsible for admissions. The council are also the ones who appoint the juries who assess the audition tests. Any decisions on admission cannot be appealed.

Here’s how the admission process works:

  1. The applicant’s guardian submits an application via the National Agency for Education’s website.
  2. Applicants are called to audition tests in the municipality where the school is located (Gothenburg or Stockholm).
  3. The audition tests are carried out at each location.
  4. Applicants who have passed the audition tests complete the health examination.
  5. The Council for Dancer Education will then decide on admission. The guardians then receive a letter with information on acceptance. Please note that applicants who have been accepted must respond to the admission letter no later than the date specified in the letter.
  6. If there is room for any reserves, the relevant applicants will be contacted.
  7. After admission, the information about those admitted is sent to the respective school. Thereafter, it is the school and its principal who are responsible for the future contact with students and guardians, not the National Agency for Education
