Anyone care to keep in contact as it relates to the Pace Fall Intensive Audition?
My D just uoloaded her viedo waiting to see if we get a call back. They say v we c will hear in five days… Hoping for the Nov audition…
@Momof3girls1273 we’re going to the november 16 audition – there are still 30 spots in that audition i just checked so you should be good
@gmfalv We had a meeting with reps for Pace last night out here in L.A. It was informative but mainly just about the school in general. Anyhow, son just submitted his app and video to Pace when we got home last night. Not that we are going to make it to any auditions out in NY but hoping for the L.A audition in January. Wish us luck!
good luck!! let us know if you get it!
@gmfalv just got email she got the Nov 16 audition!!
nice! we’ll see you there!
@gmfalv @Momof3girls1273 @mom2020dance So, in looking at what is expected at the audition I see that the kids are expected to do the following:
“In-person callback audition:
Be prepared to spend four hours with us and participate in ballet barre and center, jazz combo, tap combo, and hip hop evaluation”
How many of your dancers have “tap” experience?
my daughter tapped for about 5 years and gave it up when she was like 12. So she has a basic understanding and proficiency. she’s been taking some classes to brush up on her skills for the audition.
@gmfalv That’s awesome. My S is screwed. He has ZERO tap experience. He has been doing the other styles but hasn’t even thought about tap. Can you say crash course! Lol
@gmfalv I might actually be jumping the gun a bit, he has to get passed the prescreen and as you have seen he isn’t the most technical of dancers.
hes a very good dancer!! you just never know what a college is looking for necessarily, and the competition is stiff!
@gmfalv Our goal is to get passed the prescreening and see what comes of a potential live audition. I really do wish the Pace audition was earlier in January, like before his top choice universities auditions so he could get some audition experience prior to those but it isn’t looking like that is going to be the case.
My daughter only took tap in her junior year of high school. So she has a basic understanding of it. But is in no way comfortable with that style of dancing she is nervous about it…
@Momof3girls1273 I think that’s what the schools do, they have you dance in a style they know you may not be familiar with in order to see how your dancer handles that type of situation.
How long was it after turning in prescreen app was it before you heard back from Pace?
She submitted on Wednesday and we heard back on Thursday… But they did say it could take up too five days…
CONGRATULATIONS @Momofgirls1273
@Momof3girls1273 how did auditions go this weekend at PACE?
My D loved the audition. She now has pace as her number one school… She was chosen for a interview not sure if that’s a good sign or not. But we are taking it as it is!!
