• We will assess you on your acquired skills in all areas of dance and personal fitness for dance. You must have the knowledge and ability to execute dance terminology in all three disciplines: ballet, modern, jazz, and perform two out of three disciplines with strength.

• Come dressed in dance clothes (girls: black leotards, pink tights; boys: black tights, white T-shirt). You must bring ballet and jazz shoes. Those not appropriately dressed or arriving late will not be allowed to audition. No jewelry can be worn into the audition.

• You will take a class in ballet, jazz and modern. The class will start with a ballet barre followed by center and adagio, a quick jazz warm-up followed by across-the-floor combinations and a center combination, and then a modern class with across-the-floors and a center variation.

• We will judge you upon your demonstration of the following skills: mental ability; energy level within the classes; flexibility of back, legs and hip sockets; feet and foot articulation; musicality and phrasing; rhythmic accuracy; quick recall of combinations; presence and carriage and ability to perform given combinations with style and grace.

• Do not prepare choreography for this audition. You will take instructions from NOCCA dance faculty.
