FAQ — For Auditioning Dancers
How do Video Auditions work and what should I include?

- A brief 1-minute video introduction sharing your goals and background.

What should I bring and wear to an In-Person Audition?
Wear form-fitting dance attire that allows complete freedom of movement and highlights your alignment (leotard, tights, or fitted athletic wear). Bring both ballet slippers/socks and a headshot with your current artistic resume.
When will I receive my audition results?
