Tips and hints

We encourage you to be creative and innovation, and we expect to see basic dance principles including, but not limited to; a solid understanding of movement principles and body control/articulation, musicality, a range of interesting and varied movement dynamics, and solid performance skills.

In the creation of your solo, we invite you to share any style of movement that feels most comfortable to you.
The solo can be structured (or pre-choreographed), semi-structured (with some elements of set choreography and some moments of freestyle or improvisation) or improvised/freestyle based, depending on your dance training and background.

If you want to see some examples of current student work or what our graduates are doing, you can see examples on our Instagram page - @universityofeastlondondance
