Applicants will be notified of the exact date and time via email one week before the audition.
Note: You will be notified of the outcome of your application 4 to 6 weeks after your portfolio interview or audition. Some application outcomes may take longer than expected.
Practical AssessmentYou are expected to prepare and perform two contrasting solos of any dance genre/style (e.g. Ballet and Cultural Dance; Chinese classical dance and Chinese folk dance).
- Each dance should not exceed 90 seconds. The solo dance can be choreographed by yourself or by someone else (e.g. your dance teacher).
- You are required to bring your own music which can played from your own media device (e.g. phone, tablet, or other audio device).
- A costume (e.g. tutu for female ballet classical solo) may be worn.
- Through your performance, assessors will evaluate your:
- Technique - coordination, control and alignment
- Artistry - spatial awareness, musicality, dynamic range and performance quality
- Fitness - strength, control, flexibility, coordination, speed, stamina and stretch
InterviewYou are expected to discuss why you want to study dance during the interview. You will be evaluated based on your:
- Existing knowledge of and experience in dance performance
- Dance-related interests and career aspirations
- Dance proclivity and learning attitude
- Any medical or health concerns
Applicants who are unable to attend a live audition may request for an online audition. Both options will be followed by an online interview with the applicant alone and without the assistance of any other person.
Guidelines for the pre-recorded solos are as follows:
- You cannot perform/ dance with any make up in the audition videos, although you can tie your hair according to what's necessary.
- You have to come to the front of the camera (where your face can be seen clearly) and do a brief introduction of yourself. You will then proceed to move into the space and start dancing your solos after the introduction. * Please note that the video has to be shot in one take and not being edited in any way. Otherwise, the audition videos will not be considered.
- This applies to both male and female applicants.
- The photo that you send in should be the one that resembles how you look like now.
- For the online interview, no interpreter should be around, or the interview could be disqualified.
