Dance Audition Information

  • Audition Requirements:

    Students must be preferably dressed in dance attire (female-leotard and black tights/leggings; male-black or white fitted t-shirt and black sweatpants/bottoms), so that their movement can be clearly seen and assessed. Students must also have on footwear (preferably ballet shoes or jazz shoes- black cotton socks can also substitute). ​ If you don't currently have dance attire, just wear something you can move in, black in color (leggings, fitted t-shirt, etc.-nothing loose, baggy or with distracting designs).  

    The audition is in a dance class format, and will consist of a Center Ballet Barre, a check for flexibility and locomotor/non-lopcomotor movement skills, and short multi-dance technique combination.  Students will be observed for Dance class etiquette, and their ability to follow and implement corrections given; there is no requirement for a pre-planned/choreographed solo performance.
