Elite Classical Ballet and Contemporary
Soloists Audition
The Apprentice Company (TAC) is the Pre-Professional division of TEAMdpa. It focuses on specialised training for Soloists in Classical Ballet and Contemporary for outstanding Apprentice Team students. To be selected as a TAC soloist, dancers have to be part of The Apprentice Team (Troupe Competition) later on.
*The prerequisite to be part of troupes is not required for PSLE, O’ Levels and A' Levels Students.
The Apprentice Company Contemporary dancers are highly encouraged to join an optional Contemporary class which train their skills in Contemporary Techniques besides Classical Ballet on a weekly basis. (Only for 9yo & above, in the national year that they will be competing)

Important Information:
-
We seek your understanding that only top 10% of dancers (base on scores) will be selected during the Audition due to high demand and limited spaces. Another 10% of dancers will be selected for our second team, The Apprentice Company II (TAC II), where they will train to compete in one competition as a Solo or Duo.
-
Please note that Soloists selected for the TAC or TAC II are not required to register or pay for the Troupe Audition. You will be automatically included in the Troupe selection. However, you must still attend the Audition day so we can assess Troupe standards and consider you for additional items such as Solo, Duo, Trio, and Ensemble in other dance styles like Lyrical, Jazz, Acrobatic, National, or Demi Character. Results for the TAC audition will be released by 15th July 2024. If you are not selected for the TAC/TAC II, you may then register for The Apprentice Audition.
