Each January, we conduct a national audition tour to select dancers who wish to apply to theDance Department, Summer Dance, and Summer Youth Dance. The national audition tour dates and locations vary each year. Auditioning for the Dance Department during the national audition tour is ideal for applicants who are unable to visit our campus for the fall auditions. Because these auditions take place before and not long after our priority deadline of January 15th, we recommend that dancers applying to the Dance Department complete all application requirements prior to auditioning.

There will be a thirty minute registration period prior to the start of the audition class unless otherwise noted. Students should arrive during the designated registration time to fill out a registration sheet and hand in the audition/application fee and photo.
