The dance audition, offered three times annually is required for admission to all four dance programs (BFA in Dance, BA/BS in Dance, Arts for Children: Dance Specialty, and Minor in Dance). Audition applications must be received in the Department of Dance at least two weeks prior to the date you wish to audition. To request information and an audition application please contact the Department of Dance at (585) 395-2153.
Undergraduate Audition Application Form
Everyone who wishes to major (BFA and BA/BS) or minor in dance or major in arts for children with a dance specialty. The dance audition is a separate process from college admission and can be taken before or after applying to the college. The audition is required of current and prospective Brockport students but does not preclude enrollment in elective non-major dance courses.
Auditions are held three times per year and applicants may come on the date of their choice. Auditions begin at 8:30am. The auditions during the 2012-2013 academic year are on:
Monday, Oct. 21, 2013
Monday, Feb. 17, 2014
Monday, March 31, 2014
The Department of Dance is housed in Hartwell Hall. You should go directly to the department office, room 141 (located just off the lobby) at least 45 minutes before the audition begins. You will be given the audition schedule and information about the studios, restrooms and other locations. Brief facility tours will be offered prior to the audition.
Dancewear that is form fitted, that you are comfortable in and that allows us to see your alignment. You should take the ballet segment in ballet slippers and the modern dance segment in bare feet.
A snapshot of yourself with your name written on the back, unless this was mailed with your audition application. A one-minute solo (see below).
The 2 1/2 hour audition consists of a technique class with both modern and ballet components followed by performance of one-minute solos. Visitors are not permitted to observe.
You will be asked to show a prepared one minute, self-choreographed solo. This solo can be in the dance style of your choice. (No costumes or tap shoes, please.) We request that you use music which must be provided on CD. Audio tapes are not acceptable.
The purpose is to provide the dance faculty an opportunity to assess your potential for success in the field of dance.
Plan to stay approximately an hour for a conversation with the department of dance faculty, students and an admissions representative to talk about campus life, careers in dance, our various programs, and to ask questions. Family members are encouraged to participate in that conversation.
Notification letters will be mailed within two weeks after the audition. Dancers not accepted to the dance program are permitted to reaudition in another academic year after completion of additional study.
Parking hang tags are required and can be obtained from the Office of Parking Services for $4/day. Parking Services is located in the Raye H. Conrad Welcome Center at the corner of New Campus Drive and Commencement Drive. They can also provide maps and general information. Their hours are Monday-Friday from 7:30 am-5 pm. After receipt of a completed audition application in the Department of Dance, auditionees will be mailed a complimentary parking hang tag, maps and travel directions with their audition confirmation letter.
