About the audition
The audition for BA (Hons) Dance is an opportunity for you to meet the Dance team and for us to get to know you and understand more about you as a creative artist. It also gives you the chance to see our spaces and facilities, ask questions and get a feel of what we offer here at UEL.

What to bring
Please bring:
- comfortable clothing suitable for dancing in

- water to drink
- a notebook and pen in case you want to take any notes.
You may also want to prepare and bring any questions that you’d like to ask the lecturers and/or the current students.
Preparing for the audition
All audition material will be taught, so you do not need to prepare any dance material for the audition.
What are we looking for?
We are looking for applicants who demonstrate a strong commitment to developing their dance practice.
We are seeking applicants who:
- have an open mind and are curious to learn, study, value, and explore a wide range of dance styles and forms
- can follow instructions and respond positively to advice and feedback
- show a professional and mature approach to both the practical and theoretical aspects of dance
What happens after the audition?
We will notify you of the outcome of your audition through UCAS Track or by email.
If you are offered a place, you will need to accept or decline your offer in line with:
- UCAS deadlines, or
- the deadline stated in your offer email
Can I request an alternative date?
Due to the high demand for places on the course, alternative audition dates cannot be guaranteed. We often have more applicants than available places, and later dates may already be fully booked.
We understand that it is not always possible to attend the date offered and will do our best to accommodate requests where possible. However, to avoid disappointment, you should make every effort to attend the audition date you have been given.
You can request an alternative date through the Applicant Portal. Your login details have been sent to you separately.
What are the audition dates and location?
You will be allocated to the first audition date available. Once that date becomes booked up, applicants will be added to the next available date.
