Furthermore, staff, pupils and students will be present during the NBA Open Day to provide more information about the programme and the academy. There will be a presentation on how our auditions go, what is paid attention to and how to prepare. There will be a film screening of our latest performance Dancers of Tomorrow, and a short demonstration of the rehearsal for Snowflakes from the Nutcracker. There will also be stands selling things like ballet clothes and posters. There will be food and drinks in the canteen. Parking is free on Saturday, by the way.
