<p>NYTheatermom, you are correct about Ithaca's statement regarding auditions. However, I don't think those who audition in general, normally include choreography in a song audition and thus I can't imagine changing that for Ithaca's audition. While my own child has trained her whole life as a dancer, she did NOT dance at all in her singing audition for Ithaca and got in two weeks after her audition in late January. I would stick with ACTING a song, which does not mean one must stand still but it should not be formally blocked like in a show....the movement would be more natural and part of the acting, but not "staged".
