Applicants who are not able to schedule a live audition may submit video auditions using our online portfolio submission system in the CalArts Application. Recorded auditions must include the following:
Three ballet exercises: adage, petit allegro, and grand allegro.
A contemporary phrase of movement that travels across the floor and incorporates jumps, turns and floor work.
A solo in any dance genre choreographed and performed by the applicant, highlighting individual creativity and performance.
Note: Please see online specifications for your submission materials. Once a portfolio is uploaded, it can be viewed and rearranged until the final submission is made. No changes can be made following the final submission of your portfolio. There is a fee for each portfolio submission made through the online system. Be sure to submit the portfolio to the correct degree level and program.
