Video Submissions For those students that are not able to make it to the UWM campus to audition, you can submit a Digital Audition. Applicants should record themselves in three videos: 1) a video of dancing in a technique class 2) another video of dancing in a technique class and 3) one solo performance.
Videos should be recorded in a studio or gym, not a residential space like a living room or bedroom (if at all possible). The videos can be uploaded to YouTube, Vimeo, or a file sharing site like Google Drive or Dropbox. The links, plus related explanations and/or passwords, if not publicly shared, should also be included.
Dance Technique Performance Video URLs(Required) Use the plus sign to provide links to 2 videos approximately 10-15 minutes each. Videos should highlight dancing in technique class material from two different forms (jazz, modern, tap, African, hip hop, ballet, etc).
Dance Technique Performance Video Description(s) Please use this answer to describe the class (or multiple classes): what technique, who was teaching, where was it filmed (studio, school, etc), when was it filmed, if it’s a group how we can identify you (clothing/wardrobe, positioning in the studio, etc), as well as anything else you think we should know.
Solo Performance Video Description Please use this answer to describe the solo: who is the choreographer, title of the work if it has one, where was it filmed (studio, school, etc), when was it filmed, as well as anything else you think we should know.
