Auditions information
CAE’s I Love to Dance Program is dedicated to creating meaningful opportunities for young dancers to perform on a professional stage. Through this program, local partner ballet studios across the United States audition and rehearse thousands of students each season, preparing them to appear alongside United European Ballet Company, featuring 50 professional ballet dancers. During the Fall and Winter tours, more than 5,000 students take part in productions such as The Nutcracker, Snow White and the Seven Dwarfs, Cinderella, Sleeping Beauty, and Swan Lake. This experience allows young performers to grow artistically, gain stage confidence, and become part of a large-scale, professional production. The program is led by the President of the company, Michael Art, founder of the initiative for local ballet schools, I Love to Dance Program, created to inspire, support, and connect the next generation of dancers with the world of professional ballet.
