Are there specific requirements for rifle or sabre?
The standard by which we choose all performers is based on the general talent level of all the performers attending the audition. In the past few years we have had an amazing level of performance and skill level. If the majority can perform a triple pirouette, then that becomes the standard. During the audition process we look for performers who can reach the standard (or have the potential) to work with the nucleus that could perform at that skill level. On rifle or sabre, you want to show as broad a range of skills as possible. Beyond that, the group sets the standard by which you are evaluated.
