Audition Description

Applicants unable to attend one of our live auditions may choose to submit a recorded audition. A series of videos featuring our faculty members demonstrating the audition requirements are linked below. Kindly watch each video and learn each exercise. In each video, the instructor explains and demonstrates the material to be performed and then performs each exercise with music for your reference. Practice and prepare the material to the best of your ability. Once learned please record a video of yourself performing each exercise across the three styles. Students who fail to submit the specific, required audition exercises will not be reviewed for admission to the program. **Important note: Space and proper flooring are essential for dance and for dancer wellness. We know that if you are auditioning virtually, you may not have the space or the sprung floor to do all traveling, floor work or jumping. Please take care of yourself and do what makes sense for you and your dance environment. Video instructions for virtual audition submissions: CONTEMPORARY FUSION: Contemporary Fusion Virtual Audition HIP-HOP: Hip-Hop Virtual Audition CLASSICAL/TRADITIONAL: Classical Traditional Virtual Audition Additional tips for creating your audition video submission: No special equipment is required for these recordings. A camera on a cell phone is sufficient. Please compile all the videos into one file and upload as your audition submission to our SlideRoom portal. Please be sure your entire body is framed when you record your performance of each exercise so we can see how you articulate all the material, from the top of your head to your feet. After you take the time to learn each exercise, we recommend that you play the portion where the instructor performs the material with music and record yourself doing that material while the video is playing. This will allow you to align your tempo to the tempo of the exercise and the rhythmic structure that the instructor intended. Your final video submission should be roughly 18–20 minutes in duration. Optional Additional Video Applicants may select to upload an additional video. The additional video could highlight an alternative dance style of your choosing (i.e. jazz, flamenco, African, Indian), a sample of your own choreography, or a solo performance. An additional video is optional.
