At the end of a student’s first year he or she may audition to become a dance major.
The admission audition, held in April, involves learning combinations in modern, ballet and
jazz, and performing a one-and-a-half to two minute solo piece, to be performed privately
for the dance faculty. Following the admission audition, the faculty writes a formal letter
to each student, addressing the student’s work thus far, with recommended goals for the
future. Following a successful audition, students are officially admitted as dance majors.
