Audition Dates

Juilliard Audition Dates for Fall 2021 Entry

NEW: Audition formats have been modified to accommodate restrictions caused by the pandemic. The actual formats and requirements vary by major. Please see the Application Requirements page for your major for specific details.

Dance

Dancers applying to enter the Bachelor of Fine Arts program in fall 2021 must submit a prescreening video. Dancers who receive favorable prescreening results will be invited to participate in callback auditions that will take place remotely via Zoom at the end of February.

Summer Dance Intensive

Applicants for the 2021 program will be required to submit a video audition; there will be no live auditions for the summer 2021 program. 

Acting

All initial auditions for actors applying to enter the program in fall 2021 will take place remotely via Zoom. Approximately 50 individuals will be selected to come to New York in March for a live final callback round.

Music

As the COVID-19 pandemic progresses, and as we observe how it has impacted our applicants from around the world, we have made the decision to require recorded auditions, rather than in-person auditions. For the most part, prescreening requirements remain the same. However, we are modifying our audition processes by major in order to provide faculty with the best means to assess applicants.

This webpage will be updated as we confirm recorded auditions and related details, including accompanist options. The individual webpages under Application Requirements will contain more details about repertoire, recordings, and any other requirements or follow-up live Zoom rounds. Please check those pages frequently, and watch for “NEW” to indicate that a section has been updated.
