Welcome to the virtual dance audition for MS Arts Audition Boot Camp!
Please prepare and follow the instructions to submit an online audition for the Dance studio.
Audition Format: Video Submissions only. No longer than five minutes in total.
Prepare: Prepare and submit two (2) recorded audition videos described below. When recording your video audition, please wear appropriate dance or movement attire. Hair should be neatly pulled back. Boys may wear white t-shirts and tights or sweatpants. Begin your videos by stating your name, current grade, current school and whether the video we are watching is your original choreography or the dance exercise learned. End both videos by saying, “Thank you for watching.” Always start and end your videos with a smile!
Video 1: Prepare a solo piece of original choreography, 1 to 2 minutes in length. Any style of dance is acceptable, and you may create your own movements not based on a particular style. Do any style of dance with which you feel most comfortable. This dance video is to assess the following dance components: creativity, musicality, coordination, flexibility, and expression. Record so that your full body and movement is shown.
Video 2: Record a 1 to 2 minutes video of yourself performing from a pre-recorded solo of Ballet, Jazz, Modern, or West African dance that you learned by observing an online/virtual dance class; or from a dance exercise you learned either in your school or in a dance studio. This dance video will be used to assess the following dance components: replication of dance steps, following direction, musicality, coordination, flexibility, and expression. Record so that your full body and movement is shown.
*Music accompaniment must be instrumental only (NO LYRICS)! Present yourself as a dancer through your movement.
Students auditioning for the dance studio should have some previous dance training or experience at school or in a dance studio setting. (Basic knowledge of ballet is required.)
