Hi Everyone!
Since we’re in the thick of application season and some dancers have already started auditioning, I thought I’d start a thread to share updates as we go through the process. Feel free to chime in!
My dancer is still working on finishing up applications - and the final list is still in flux. Has been admitted academically to UA, but still needs to complete dance app and pre-screen and has already auditioned for both Mason Gross and Peabody.
Good luck to all of the dancers applying and auditioning this year!
Is anyone auditioning for ballet at Utah next weekend (Oct 20)? If so make sure you check out the performance on Friday or Saturday night.
Hi! My DD is auditioning this weekend at the Pace intensive, anyone else going?
Merde to your DD @TexasDanceMom
@Undercovermom1 Thank YOU!!! ?
I’ve heard a couple of acceptance calls have gone out for University of AZ on Friday. Anyone here have any news?
@TexasDanceMom How was your daughter’s intensive at Pace? My daughter is planning to audition there this January.
How many colleges are on “the list”? Right now, it swings between 7 and 9. Depending on the day.
My DD also has 7-9 on the list. Of course, she really has 2-3 that she wishes could be the only ones on the list!
Last year, in terms of audition-based programs, DD had three that were her top choices along with two more. She also had three that were not audition-based, as safety schools. And then she had three that didn’t have dance programs, just in case her life took a wild turn between fall and May 1st.
@Copper2016 , she absolutely LOVED it! She felt good about the audition as well as the classes! We took the full school tour also, which was good for her to actually see students and the interaction and day to day activities in the city. Overall, a great weekend!
That is wonderful! We toured over the summer- while classes were not in session so it was hard to get a feel for the vibe- but my daughter loved the location and what the tour guide had to say about the commercial dance program (the tour guide was in the commercial dance program- so that was super helpful!) Good luck to your daughter!
Thank YOU!!! It’s going to be a tough several months waiting!!!
My daughter is auditioning at SMU on Saturday. Does anyone have a child auditioning? Also, anyone attend the October audition?
We will be at the SMU Friday/Saturday for the tours and audition. In October we did the Dancewave Dancing Through College and Beyond (DTCB) audition in NYC. We fly into Dallas Friday morning, then catch a plane two hours after auditions end–hoping they don’t run too late!
Has anyone who did the dance audition at the University of Oklahoma in Norman in October heard back for either the ballet or modern programs?
@dancemomm I just took a look at Ballet Talk for Dancers and two people there posted that their dancers have received acceptances. Last year it took my daughter about three weeks to hear back.
My daughter is auditioning at SMU this weekend as well. She is very excited- we have heard great things about their program. Best wishes to your dancer!
