DANCE AUDITIONS
The dance department offers frequent opportunities for students to perform in works by faculty members, guest artists, graduate students, and undergraduates.

Auditions for Technique and Major classes
10:00 Technique: Auditions for new students and level placement for returning students will be held during the first week of class for both fall and spring semesters. If new students are not accepted into the 10:00am technique class (DNCE 2021, 3041 or 4061) they will be encouraged to re-audition the following semester. To progress in the dance curriculum, students must place in the 10:00 daily technique class at least one semester during the first year in the dance program. Students cannot enroll in subsequent theory courses until having placed in the 10:00 daily technique class. After each audition and level placement, students will be advised of their appropriate class placement in order to enroll in the correct technique course.
Major Classes: All DNCE classes ending in a “1” are considered major technique classes. Some of those classes, such as Intermediate and Advanced Ballet, Pointe, Advanced Jazz, and Repertory, require a pre audition screening to take place before students are allowed to enroll in the course.
