Video Requirements:
Pre-screen Video Submission to determine if the applicant moves forward to a full audition. A 2-3 minute solo in the modern or contemporary genre. The solo can be videoed in a studio or outdoors, or it could be from a performance. The footage must be recent – within the past six months.
Video Introduction Guidelines: At the start of the video, identify the following either as text or as a speaking introduction.
Applicant’s name and state
Choreographer(s) of the piece
There is an option to submit a second 2-3 minute video in a different genre (tap, hip hop, ballet, flamenco, etc) This is not required, but if submitted, make sure to follow the introduction guidelines. There is a separate link in the registration form.
For all submissions: We can only accept YOUTUBE or VIMEO links through the registration portal. We can not receive video links by email, or documents with a link.
Video Attire: Make sure to wear clothing that allows adjudicators to see you and your movement clearly. Avoid dark colors on a dark background; oversized, thick, or loose clothing that obscures movement; and hairstyles that cover the face.
Note: Pre-screens will only be reviewed if all materials are complete. This includes a letter of recommendation from a dance professional and an academic teacher.
