What roles are available and who can audition?

We want Cinderella to create opportunities for each and every dancer to fulfill their dreams. That's why we are extending our invitation and opening the door to the world of ballet to EVERYONE!

Children as young as 3 years old, WITH OR WITHOUT dance experience, have the chance to be introduced to the performing arts world and experience the magical story of Cinderella alongside world-renowned stars.

If you are a pre-professional or professional dancer, we offer the chance to star in SOLOIST AND PRINCIPAL ROLES and the opportunity to reach the next level in your dance career. Gain impressive performing experience for your resume, meet new connections and mentors, and access tools to help you find new work opportunities worldwide!

If you are an adult who simply loves to dance or an experienced ballroom dancer looking for a unique production, we open Cinderella's stunning "Ballroom Scene" to you full of delightful waltzes and swirling dresses!
