Do they look at your appearance when you audition for ballet?

Like have you seen any not-ugly but not-pretty professinal ballerinas?

I was just wondering if they do care about anything else than your actual dancing if you were auditioning into a company for example.

Your general body type is a major factor at any kind of dance audition, but especially in ballet. First cuts are often based on looks alone before they even start paying attention to technique and performance quality.

dunno. if u are audtioning, and you arent that pretty - then impress them with ur dancing. and maybe try to hide ur face, with maybe a side fringe or something.
no. they look at your skills.

worry bout that stuff later.
No they don't look at beauty as far as your face goes. They look primarily at body structure (how much fat basically). Facial beauty is something that can be rectified by makeup. They just don't want to see too much body fat.
I used to do volunteer work for a famous ballet company, and sometimes we watched rehearsals and morning class. Not all the women were especially pretty. A few had bad skin (probably from sweating under heavy make-up).

One thing I learned that companies do take into consideration is the height of its men dancers. If there are a lot of short men, they'll be looking for short women at auditions.

Good lu... I mean, "Merde!"
YEA OF COURSE THEY WANNA SEE IF U R COMFORTABLE WIT THE MOVES R U STIFF AND IF U LOOK GOOD DOING THE MOVES AND IF UR BUILT 2 DO THEM
It's an audition for your dancing skills, not for how pretty you are. I don't aggree with people saying it has to do with your weight either, they look at your talent. I know alot of very good dancers that have made it far who aren't typical ballerina types. Just do your best and if you think your facial looks are going to compromise their oppinion, find a friend who is good at makeup and get them to fix you up. Good Luck!
Well, they'll look at how skinny you are, probably at how big your chest is, how wide your hips are.... But as for your face I don't think they really care.
they mainly look for poise and grace
