Just Dance

The Northwest Florida Ballet Académie is holding auditions for incoming third graders for the 2012-2013 school year on May 5 from 6 to 8 p.m. and May 6 from 2:30 to 4:30 p.m. at the studios located in downtown Fort Walton Beach.

The Académie is a free, integrated arts and academic program for third to eighth grade boys and girls who have the potential to excel in dance. Students receive ballet instruction on top of academic and artistic education. Certified elementary and middle school teachers, under the direction of the Okaloosa County School District, supervise the academic program. French, art and music are taught weekly.

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.
