Hong Kong Academy of Ballet | Classical Ballet Training Programme 2026-27 Entry Assessment

Classical Ballet Training Programme – Academic Year 2026/27

Entry Assessment

Prospective students will need to undergo an evaluation for proper class placement. This assessment will resemble a trial ballet class, and HKB teachers will see if a student is excited to explore their love of ballet and dance. Teachers evaluate students based on their ability to follow instructions, natural musicality and expression, taking into consideration previous experience and physical ability. We want to ensure that ballet training will be safe and healthy for our students as it requires a great deal of flexibility and strength.

Please kindly fill out the form for 2026-27 Entry Assessment on or before Sunday 19 July 2026.
