HB Studio offers classes for students of every level, many of them without prerequisite. Spring 2013 courses that require an audition, interview or invitation for admission are listed below.
Auditions and interviews for regular classes are generally scheduled during the registration period preceding the start of the new term. We strongly advise students to TRIAL (participating in a single session) or AUDIT (observe only) classes during the registration period as well.
The Studio charges a nonrefundable fee of $10 for all scheduled appointments, to be paid in
advance when the audition/interview is booked. The charge for a TRIAL class is a single session of the applicable course fee and AUDITS are $15, both to be paid the day of the class.
Please contact the Registration Office at (212) 675-2370 to schedule an appointment or for further information.
