| Tisch no longer has dance as part of the audition. My daughter, who is now a junior in CAP21, auditioned during the last year/cycle when they held an optional dance audition for experienced/advanced dancers and she did it as she has also danced her whole life a real lot. However, as others have mentioned, there is a dance placement on the first day of every year in the CAP21 studio and there are four levels in ballet, tap, and jazz for every grade/class/year. They look at your resume which should note your dance training and you can discuss it in the little interview at the audition. I can assure you that there are a bunch of students admitted to CAP21 every year with extensive and advanced dance training. They are placed in different classes than those with less experience or skill. So while being an advanced dancer is not required to be admitted, they definitely admit many who ARE advanced dancers. I am sure your record of your training will be noted in that area. As far as what you audition "live", it is the singing and acting. It is not as if dance doesn't count but they look at the training and they are willing to take different levels of dancers since they offer a wide range of dance levels for each dance discipline for each grade/class, in order to accommodate those with years and years of dance training and those with less skill. Your dance background will be a PLUS but the big factor at the audition will be voice and acting. Dance and your entire background are considered as you give in a resume and also academics count 50% of the decision. |
