Audition Requirements

  The application is a two-step process. Potential students must apply to the University and complete an audition for the Dance Division. For information on applying to the University, click on the following link to the University Admissions. If you apply on-line (see link, below), make sure you also phone Admissions to schedule your audition: 1-800-432-2266. When you call, ask to be transferred to Marjorie Sobczynski, the Conservatory Admissions Officer.

Prospective students participate in technique classes (ballet, modern dance and jazz) and perform a two to three minute solo dance (applicant's or teacher's choreography in ballet, modern or jazz style; transfer students must choreograph their own solos). CD/cassette player is available to play applicant's accompaniment. Two current photographs (a headshot and a side view of first arabesque position) must be included with the application. Applicants are strongly encouraged to audition on campus, but a videotaped audition may be arranged.
