All applicants are required to audition. In the live audition, you will demonstrate your proficiency in ballet, modern, jazz, and tap (optional) in a classroom setting. You do not need to prepare a solo. All those auditioning for admission into the Palladino School of Dance are held to the same standard of excellence, independent of their chosen degree plan. The auditions are facilitated and adjudicated by Schools of the Performing Arts faculty. This audition for admission into the Palladino School of Dance typically lasts four hours. Please come to your audition prepared with the following: A headshot (snapshot quality is fine). A full-body photo of yourself in any dance pose of your choosing. This photo should be of just you (snapshot quality is fine). A dance resume detailing your study objective, your schooling, and your last four years of dance training, including your dance studios' and instructors' names. Please keep this to one page. Proper dance attire for the audition (this will be emailed after registering). You will not receive your audition results on your audition day. The Schools of Performing Arts faculty will provide your evaluation to our Admissions office, where it will be reviewed along with other required application materials.  *For those who live outside of the New England region, or for those who are not able to make it to an on-campus audition, we also offer a video audition option. Please contact Ashley Reed at areed@dean.edu for more details.
