| Did your kids have Tony Salatino as their dance guy? I found him to be very funny, nice and pleasant in the information session that the faculty gave before the audition itself began. He is got his degree from Juilliard. My D said the dance was challenging but she seemed to have fun with it. Of course, because of posts made on this forum, she was expecting the dance combination to be challenging. She had heard that Syracuse has really upped the ante as far as dance in the past few years, and that they expect girls who want to enter the dept to have at least some technique. We did notice that on the sheet they had the kids fill out beforehand, there was a section where the adjudicator would fill out which one the kid is: a natural or not a natural.
That said, as others have noted here, it's impossible to predict who is going to be admitted and who is not based on kids self-reports from the audition. Truly, all they can do is their best at the audition and the rest will be decided for them. Best of luck, everyone! |
