- To be considered for admission into the dance program, a prospective student must attend an audition. There are usually 3 auditions held throughout each year. Click here to schedule an audition with us.
Dance Audition
The audition consists of a time to observe/participate “a day of RU dance” with our current dance majors; an audition class consisting of both classical (Ballet) and contemporary (Modern Dance, Jazz) dance technique forms; and a presentation of a 2-minute solo. Additionally there will be time for prospective students and families to meet and speak with current students, faculty and the department chair.
