Admission into the Academy for all students who plan to train on an Elite Level will be required to audition. Auditions are held for all ages over 8 years old. ASET offers numerous audition opportunities and audition training classes in the greater Nashville area. You must have a complete packet for your audition to be considered and, thus, accepted in the Academy.
Enrollment for recreational/open (non-audition) classes, scholarships, and financial aid are on a first-come, first-served basis, and reserves the students place in that class. Students previously enrolled in the prior semester will have a chance to register in advance of the general public, with PRIORITY ENROLLMENT.
