Auditions

 

There is no audition to declare a Dance major. At the start of the fall semester the department holds placement classes to determine enrollment in the appropriate level of technique. Dance majors are expected to enter with and maintain adequate technical proficiency to progress through the curriculum, and must maintain at least a C average for classes to count towards the Dance major.

The Dance Department has two pre-professional companies: Synapse Contemporary Dance Theater and Global Motion World Dance Company. At the beginning of each semester, dancers who are interested in being considered for the ensemble, or who are interested in auditioning work as a choreographer, must attend the audition.

“This [performance] course genuinely changed my life. This was my first experience with company rehearsal, and it taught me a great deal about the rigor of the dance world. This class challenged me in every was possible and has fueled my love for dance and solidified my pursuit for a career in dance.”
