BA (Hons) Dance auditions
Congratulations, you have been selected to audition for a place on our BA (Hons) Dance course.
About the audition
The audition process for BA (Hons) Dance is a chance for you to meet the Dance team and for us to get to know you and understand more about you as a creative and artist. It also provides you the opportunity to look at the space and facilities, ask questions and get a feel of what we offer here at UEL.
The audition will run as follows:
| Time | What will happen? | Location |
|---|---|---|
| 1.45pm | Arrival and registration | USS Building Reception |
| 2pm | Practical technique and choreography workshops | USS Dance Studios |
| 3.45pm | Course talk with the dance team | USS Dance Studios |
| 4.15pm | Small group discussion task | USS Dance Studios |
| 4.45pm | Final Q&A and finish | USS Dance Studios |
During the practical technique and choreography workshops, there may be some tasks that require some solo demonstrations and provide the opportunity to showcase your improvisation and freestyle skills.
You will need to have comfortable clothing suitable for dancing in, and clean trainers which are suitable for indoor use. Please bring water to drink, and a notebook and pen in case you want to take any notes. It would be a good idea to think about and write down any questions that you’d like to ask the lecturers and/or the current students and bring those too.
All audition material will be taught, so you do not need to prepare any dance material for the audition.
What are we looking for?
Applicants who have an open mind and are curious to learn, study, value and explore all forms and styles of dance. Applicants who are able to follow instructions and respond to advice and feedback offered. A professional and mature approach to both practical and theoretical perspectives on dance.
What happens after the audition?
We will notify you of the outcome of your audition through your UCAS Track or we will send you an email with our decision. If you receive a place, you will be required to accept/decline your place as per UCAS deadlines/the deadline in your email.
Can I request an alternative date?
There is a high demand for the limited number of places on our course, and we have more applicants than we do places available. Therefore, if you request an alternative date, unfortunately there is no guarantee that we will be able to offer you one, as the subsequent dates may already be fully booked.
We do understand that it is not always possible for applicants to attend, so we will do our best to accommodate you if you do need another date but cannot guarantee this. To avoid disappointment, please do your absolute best to attend the date that you have been offered.
You can request an alternative date through the Applicant Portal - Your login instructions have been sent to you separately.
Audition dates and location
