My D auditioned on Sunday for Point Park in NYC. They didn't give any kind of a talk out loud to either the parents or the students. We walked in, signed up and sort of sat around on the main floor of the Alvin Ailey Dance Studio waiting for instructions. Eventually, we saw some people had numbers, so my D went and got a number. It's weird because they didn't hand them out in the order of arrival, but just whenever you walked up to get one! I guess it didn't really matter because after all 33 or so kids did their 1 song and monologue, then they all went to the dance portion. (By the way, the audition papers said 32 bars of one song; because there were so many people auditioning, they decided the kids could only sing 16!) The dance portion was very different for my D because it sounds like they did Salsa dancing and some other modern dance moves. She said she kept smiling, though, the whole time! She said many of the others looked kind of lost, too. The only other info. to report is that the man who was walking around organizing things said that they used to take 60 in their program and now they take around 40. That seemed like a lot to me. I didn't realize they took that many. |
