<p>In the letter I received confirming my audition appt it said that I’m expected to present a short dance combination. But in the booklet they sent with it, it said that there was a group warm-up followed by a group dance audition in which we’re taught a combination. I saw a similar thread about this, but there wasn’t a sure answer…did anyone ever get one? Should I have a combo prepared and music on my accompaniment CD? Thanks.</p>
<p>FYI: I’m auditioning at the LA Unifieds.</p>
<p>Hi Sweetclyde. I auditioned for UArts at the New York unifieds 2 years ago (and am a current sophomore musical theater major there now). If you are auditioning on campus, there is a group dance audition where they teach you a combination. However, at the unifieds, there isn't space (among other things) to teach a full-scale dance routine. (If the LA unifieds are anything like the NY ones, the rooms are quite tiny and crammed) So instead, UArts asks that you prepare a short (couple of minutes) dance routine just so they can get a sense of your abilities. It would be a good idea to put the music you are dancing to on your accompaniment CD. Don't stress too much about the dance audition.</p>
<p>Hope this helps! feel free to hit me with any other questions</p>
<p>I found this to be quite unclear too. I'm doing it at the NYC Unifieds this year and thats what they said. I emailed them and asked them how long it should be and they said about 2 minutes. Mine is definately only 38 seconds and I can't choreograph any more and expect myself to do it well :P</p>
<p>I also asked them (and various other people online) whether we should do our whole audition in our dance attire or just wear our audition clothes and dance in those, but I still haven't gotten an answer from anyone. Any suggestions?</p>
<p>the outfit that i wore for auditions was an outfit that was pretty easy to move in, so i just did the dance in that outfit....i don't think it particularly matters. honestly, just wear whatever you are comfortable in...and i do emphasize that the dance audition is more for placement for dance levels if you come, not as a major part of the acceptance into the program.</p>
<p>As long as you're not standing still for it, your 38-second piece should be fine. :)</p>
