Auditions will be held at 310 Perry Ave SE in Fort Walton Beach. Auditioning students must be registered in advance. Parents are invited to attend an open house on May 1 at 6:30 p.m. For more information or to register your child for the audition, please call Rhonda Starnes at 664-7787 or visit nfballet.org.
