美國的The School of American Ballet是The New York City Ballet的搖籃.SAB一向只接受八歲以上的小孩子申請, 今年開始接收六歲以上的學生, 之前沒有接受過芭蕾舞訓練也可, 面試資料可看其網頁.

六歲便可面試, 那麼SAB以什麼評估一個學生有沒有潛質呢?
Applicants must be young enough to derive the maximum benefit from their training, enjoy excellent health and have an anatomical structure suited to the demands of classical dance: a well-proportioned, flexible, coordinated body, legs that easily adopt the turned-out condition, and a high instep. They must also possess musical aptitude and a natural gift for movement. (Winter Admission)
很羨慕啊!
如果當年我更年輕便開始習舞, 又如果當年不打算讀電影/新聞/社工/翻譯/語言/傳播, 等等, 而選擇了芭蕾舞, 然後以跳舞為終生職業, 我的人生會是怎樣呢?
SAB由移居美國多年的俄羅斯芭蕾舞家George Balanchine及慈善家Lincoln Kirstein於1934年創辦.
