Dance Audition Requirements
Welcome to YPAS Dance!
Welcome to YPAS Dance!
We are so excited that you are auditioning and applying. We look forward to meeting you in person at the dance audition. You will be learning two different dances from the videos provided. You will then perform those dances in person at your audition. Students will learn the ballet barre and center exercises and the modern combination from the video links below. You will then perform them during the in-person audition. In addition, students will perform improvisation, dance on pointe (if already on pointe), perform across the floor exercises and participate in a one on one interview. Faculty will also meet with parents and students at the beginning of the audition.
Applicants are evaluated on the following criteria: understanding of proper alignment, sequencing, projection, dynamics, and musicality.
Female identifying students should wear tights and leotards and male identifying should wear tights and a fitted tank in solid conservative colors. Hair should be pulled back and pinned securely away from the face and neck. Students should bring ballet and pointe shoes (if they dance on pointe) and be prepared to dance in bare feet.
