High school seniors and transfer students interested in majoring in dance at the University of Arizona are invited to participate in the UArizona Dance Program Audition. This is one of three national auditions held annually by the UAZ School of Dance for prospective students of the following year’s incoming class. The audition covers a range of technical styles and will be followed by a Q&A session with faculty advisers for both dancers and their parents.
Please note that this audition is not part of the scholarship class, and unlike our other auditions, it has a limited capacity. Spaces are extremely limited, so we recommend registering early to secure your spot. Receiving a waiver or invitation does not guarantee a spot at the audition.
If capacity is reached, please visit https://dance.arizona.edu/students/apply/undergraduate/ for information about future opportunities. Additionally, make sure all requirements are fulfilled before attending the on-campus audition.
Audition Application Instructions
- Sign up for the audition through your AJDS registration
- Complete the University of Arizona application using the UA Future Portal or Common App
- Auditioners will receive audition numbers upon check-in on Friday, September 27th. Please arrive early to warm up.
- It is highly recommended that you submit your UAZ Dance application prior to the AJDS audition.
- Dancers have two opportunities to audition for UAZ Dance. If you participate in the audition but do not complete the application process, the audition is still considered one of two audition opportunities having been taken. The outcome of your audition will be the decision letter issued after your UA Dance application has been considered by the faulty review committee.
- Auditions are for first year and transfer students for the fall 2025 term ONLY.
- Your decision letter will be sent to you with the outcome of your audition after your completed UA Dance Application and audition performance have been reviewed by the faculty committee.
*Fee to audition/apply to the UA Dance program is $60, paid at the time the application is submitted, and is not covered as part of the AJDS 2024 registration fee.
