Applications are now open!
There are TWO PARTS to the Miami International Ballet Competition competitor application process. All participants must complete and submit an application form, contingent on the selected category, along with a video, headshot picture, and a non-refundable registration fee.
Please note: the variation you perform in your application video does not have to be the same as the one you perform for the competition. Video should be in a studio setting and can be taken during class. We'd like to see lines and current abilities. Video can be up to a year old as long as it is the most accurate representation of your current abilities.
STEP 1: Select your Category
To begin, please select the category in which you wish to participate. Once your category is selected, you will be directed to the Online Application Form where you will be able to select your division and upload your application materials (i.e. video and headshot).
Participants may enter the competition as Individual Competitors, an Ensemble or Pas de Deux, either representing a company or school or as an independent performer. There are three competitive categories, and four age divisions, each with an individual performance fee. The participant’s appropriate division will be determined by their age as of January 20, 2027. Dancers applying in the Pas de Deux category must submit two individual applications, one for the male applicant and one for the female applicant. Please make sure to reference your partner’s name in the Partner Information section of the application. Competitors that enter in the Individual or Pas de Deux categories may also participate as part of an Ensemble. An Ensemble’s age division will be determined by the average age of the competitors.
