As with most ballet schools, it will require lots of energy and devotion. I checked out the website's FAQ page (http://www.sab.org/school/faq.php). They offer two terms, winter and summer. For the winter term you can be between the ages of 6 and 18. For summer the ages are between 12 and 18. Here is a link for audition details:

~Winter: http://sab.org/winterterm/admission/
Assuming you are over the age of twelve, you will perform a shortened class (including barre and centre) and will be required to bring pointe shoes and a birth certificate.

I got all of this info from their webpage. Check it out for more details. I hope I helped! I have a friend who got accepted and she thought it was a great program that really helped her grow as a dancer and person. Good luck ( :
