Dance
Technique in service of meaningful movement, across ballet, contemporary, modern, and jazz dance.
We look for dancers who demonstrate technical preparation, musicality, spatial awareness, interpretive clarity, commitment, and the potential to communicate through movement.
The Dance division supports young artists in ballet, contemporary, modern, jazz dance, and other concert dance forms.
Presentation formats are developed according to the dancer’s style, age, readiness, repertoire, and the practical requirements of the venue or project.

Two videos
A technical or class-based sample, and a solo, variation, or choreographic work.
Video one · Technique
A technical or class-based sample demonstrating foundation appropriate to the principal form. It may include barre, center work, across-the-floor material, combinations, or another discipline-appropriate technical sequence. 3–5 minutes.
Video two · Performance
A solo, variation, or choreographic work demonstrating interpretation, musicality, movement quality, spatial awareness, and performance presence. Pointe work should be submitted only by dancers already training safely on pointe under qualified supervision. 2–5 minutes.
The committee evaluates technique, coordination, musicality, movement quality, interpretation, spatial awareness, individuality, preparation, and growth potential.
