Please select one of the following options with regard to dance scholarship auditions:

  I am interested in auditioning for a dance scholarship but would like to research the Dance Program more before committing to an audition date, or I am not yet a high school senior and therefore cannot schedule an audition at this time.

 I would like audition on:

  • November 18, 2009
  • January 27, 2010
  • March 10, 2010

Your audition date will be confirmed with a letter and a telephone call from the Dance Program. At the audition, you will take a Modern Dance Technique Class and a Ballet Technique Class. Please have bare feet for the Modern class. If you do pointe work, please bring your pointe shoes. You will also perform a two-to-three minute solo of your choosing that either you or your teacher have choreographed. We have both a CD and cassette tape player for your use.
