NEW for the 2010 dance auditions:

- Auditions will be held in Dallas, TX instead of Houston, TX (auditions are also held in Chicago, San Francisco, Miami, and New York).

- For the college Dance Division audition, only one prepared solo is required for the callback (please read the entire "2010 Dance Audition Requirements" for complete audition details).

- For the college Dance Division audition, the final callback interview process has been formalized so that all interviewees are asked the same set of questions, regardless of which faculty or staff member conducts the interview.

As always, you can e-mail your questions to danceadmissions@juilliard.edu or call the Dance Admissions Coordinator at (212) 799-5000, ext. 506.
