Dress
Students should wear clothes they can move in: leotards, tights, leggings or jazz pants. No T-shirts, tank tops, sweat shirts, skirts, shorts or jewelry can be worn. Wear clothes that do not have large patterns, drawings, writings or advertisements on them. Bring any dance shoes that you own. No stocking feet or socks. Please have hair pulled back and fixed so that it does not hinder movement.
Audition
Dance applicants will be asked to participate in a series of movements from several techniques such as ballet, jazz and modern dance for approximately 90 minutes. Students will learn a short combination of steps that they will perform with a small group as part of the audition. No prepared solo dance is needed for the audition; all dance is taught at the time of the audition. Each student will also have a brief interview. Each applicant must plan to stay for the entire audition time slot. Dance auditions will take place in the CFA Dance Studio.
